The order of a group is 20= .
a) Silow theorem implies that it has a subgroup of the order 5. Since 5 is prime, this subgroup is cyclic, and its any non-trivial element is it's generator. Then the order of its conjugacy class is a divisor of =4. Therefore, it belongs to the class of the order 4. Hence coinsides with the subgroup {1} , where C is the conjugacy class containing exactly 4 elements. This subgroup is obviously normal, since it satisfies the property: if intersect a conjugacy class, then contains this class.
b) Silow theorem implies that it has a subgroup of the order 4= . The order of it's any element is either 4 or 2. If the order is 4, then its conjugacy class is a divisor of =5. Then it belongs to a conjugacy ...
