Tests sharing the same power function

Let X1,X2X_1, X_2 be a random sample from a distribution having probability density function fθ(x)={1θe−xθif x>0 0otherwisef_{\theta}(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{\theta} e^{-\frac{x}{\theta}} & \text{if } x > 0 \ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}, where θ∈(0,∞)\theta \in (0, \infty) is an unknown parameter. For testing H0:θ≤1H_0: \theta \le 1 against H1:θ>1H_1: \theta > 1, consider the test ϕ(X1,X2)={1if X1>1 0otherwise\phi(X_1, X_2) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } X_1 > 1 \ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}. Then which one of the following tests has the same power function as ϕ\phi?
