Question

Two players $X$ and $O$ play a game of "noughts and crosses" on a $3\times 3$ grid. The purpose of the game is for a player to get $3$ symbols belonging to the player in a straight line (vertically, horizontally or diagonally). Each player marks one symbol on his or her turn. After two moves (1 turn each), the gid looks as follows with $X$ to play next.
Where should $X$ put his symbol next so that he will always win this game finally regardless of how well $O$ plays?

• A. Bottom row right corner
• B. Bottom row middle cell
• C. Middle row left most cell
• D. It is not possible to always ensure $X$ wins if $O$ plays carefully

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bottom row right corner

$X$ will always win if it puts symbol either on bottom row right corner or top row left corner.

Hence, this is the answer.
