Question

"A given pure strategy may be strictly dominated by a mixed strategy, even if the pure strategy is not strictly dominated by any other pure strategies." Prove the above statement using the following strategic form game when only the payoffs of the row player are given. It is not a zero-sum game, but the way the steps of the proof, as outlined below, are structured, the payoffs of the column player are not needed.
