(a) State Sylow's theorem.

(b) Let GG be a finite simple non-abelian group. Let pp be a prime number. Show that if pp divides G|G|, then G|G| divides np!/2n_{p} ! / 2 where npn_{p} is the number of Sylow pp-subgroups of GG.

(c) Let GG be a group of order 48 . Show that GG is not simple. Find an example of GG which has no normal Sylow 2-subgroup.
