Consider the game in normal form given in the followingtable. Player 1 is the “row” player with strategiesA,BandCandplayer 2 is the “column” player with strategiesL,CandR. The gameis given in the following table:

	L	C	R
A	0,0	2,-2	-2,3
B	-2,2	0,0	2,-1
C	3,1	-1,2	0,1

(a) Find whether there is a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium (M.S.N.E) where player 1 mixes between A and C and player 2 mixes between L,C and R with positive probability.

(b) Find whether there exists a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium where each player mixes between all her strategies with positive probability.
