1. A constant K is added to each element of a pay-off matrix related to a game. What effect will
it have on the solution?
(a) The optimal strategies of the players and the value of the game remain unchanged.
(b) The optimal strategies of the players do not change while the value of the game will
increase by K.
(c) The optimal strategies of the players as well as game value will all change.
(d) Nothing sure can be said about it.
2. In a 2-player game having a saddle point, A is the maximising player with three strategies.
The three strategies have payoffs ranging as follows:
A1: -8 to 12
A2: 6 to 18
A3: 2 to 21
The optimal strategy for A is
(a) A1
(b) A2
(c) A3
(d) Is not determinable from the given information.
3. In a 2-person game having saddle point, player B is the minimising player. B has 3 strategies
available to him: b1, b2 and b3. For each of these it is known that:
b1 : lowest payoff 2
highest payoff 21
b2 : lowest payoff -7
highest payoff 14
b3 : lowest payoff 6
highest payoff 8
What is the payoff associated with the optimal strategy of B?
(a) 21
(b) 6
(c) 8
(d) Cannot be determined from the given information.
4. Mark the correct statement:
(a) A game is said to be fair if each of the players has equal number of strategies.
(b) The value of the game can be determined only if the game has a saddle point.
(c) Player A is said to dominate the other if he has more strategies to play.
(d) A game favours minimising player B if it has negative value.
5. Mark the wrong statement:
(a) If each of the payoffs for a column strategy is equal to or greater than the corresponding
payoff of another column strategy, the former is said to dominate the latter.
(b) The game has a saddle point if the payoffs associated with maximin and minimax
strategies are the same.
(c) A game can have multiple saddle points.
(d) The game value can be positive, negative or zero.
