(i) Suppose that GG is a finite group of order pnrp^{n} r, where pp is prime and does not divide rr. Prove the first Sylow theorem, that GG has at least one subgroup of order pnp^{n}, and state the remaining Sylow theorems without proof.

(ii) Suppose that p,qp, q are distinct primes. Show that there is no simple group of order pqp q.
