Question

Solve the game.

Answer 1

By maximin – minimax principle. 

(i) Row minimums are circled. 

(ii) Column maximums are boxed. 

Here the payoff 5 is circled as well as boxed. 

The saddle point occurs at (1, 1) 

The suggested solution is pure strategy i.e., 

For player A – A₁ For player B – B₁, 

value of the game V = 5.
