Statistical Inference — verifying a most powerful test via likelihood ratios

Suppose the probability mass function of a random variable X under the parameter θ=θ0\theta=\theta_0 and θ=θ1\theta=\theta_1, θ1≠θ0\theta_1\neq\theta_0 is given by: for X=0,1,2,3, pθ0(x)=0.01,0.04,0.50,0.45p_{\theta_0}(x)=0.01,0.04,0.50,0.45 and pθ1(x)=0.02,0.08,0.40,0.50p_{\theta_1}(x)=0.02,0.08,0.40,0.50. Define a test function φ\varphi such that φ(x)=1\varphi(x)=1 if x=0,1x=0,1; 00 if x=2,3x=2,3. For testing H0:θ=θ0H_0:\theta=\theta_0 against H1:θ=θ1H_1:\theta=\theta_1 the test φ\varphi is
