Size and power of a given critical region

Let X1X_1 and X2X_2 be a random sample of size 22 from a discrete distribution with the probability mass function

f(x;θ)=P(X=x)={θ,x=0, 1−θ,x=1,f(x;\theta)=P(X=x)=\begin{cases}\theta, & x=0,\ 1-\theta, & x=1,\end{cases}

where θ∈Θ={0.2,0.4}\theta\in\Theta=\{0.2,0.4\} is the unknown parameter. For testing H0:θ=0.2H_0:\theta=0.2 against H1:θ=0.4H_1:\theta=0.4, consider a test with the critical region

C={(x1,x2)∈{0,1}×{0,1}:x1+x2<2}.C=\{(x_1,x_2)\in\{0,1\}\times\{0,1\}:x_1+x_2<2\}.

Let α\alpha and β\beta denote the probability of Type I error and power of the test, respectively. Then (α,β)(\alpha,\beta) is
