Design a two-player game with the property that “the payoff for Playerl is Playerl plays a strategy Sl and Player2 plays a strategy S2 is the same as the payoff for Player2 if Player2 plays Sl and Playerl plays S2". Express your game in terms of payoff matrices. Show the above property holds in your given payoff matrices. Give a case to show that there is one Nash equilibrium and such an equilibrium is also a Pareto efficient (justify your answers) in your given payoff matrices. Prove or disprove the above case that is unique. Give another example to show that there are two Nash equilibria in your given payoff

In the following two-user game, the payoffs of users Alice and Bob are exactly negative of each other in all the combinations of strategies (a,a), (a,b), (b,a), (b,b). This models an extreme case of competition, and is called a zero-sum game.

Suppose there are two farmers, each of whom has the right to graze cows on the village common. Denote by sA and sB the number of cows farmers A and B graze, respectively. The payoff per cow is given by 120-sA-sB and farmers decide on the number of cows they will graze on the common simultaneously (a) Formulate this situation as a strategic game and find the Nash equilibrium (b) Compare the equilibrium farmer profits to those that would have been realized if each farmer grazed 30 cows on the village common.
