(a) State Sylow's theorems and give the proof of the second theorem which concerns conjugate subgroups.

(b) Show that there is no simple group of order 351 .

(c) Let kk be the finite field Z/(31)\mathbb{Z} /(31) and let GL2(k)G L_{2}(k) be the multiplicative group of invertible 2×22 \times 2 matrices over kk. Show that every Sylow 3-subgroup of GL2(k)G L_{2}(k) is abelian.
