Question

Explain why a group of order 4m where m is odd must have a subgroup
isomorphic to Z4 or Z2 ⨁ Z2 but cannot have both a subgroup
isomorphic to Z4 and a subgroup isomorphic to Z2 ⨁ Z2. Show that
S4 has a subgroup isomorphic to Z4 and a subgroup isomorphic to
Z2 ⨁ Z2.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: Group of order 4m where m is odd.
We need to show that :
a) Given group must have a subgroup isomorphic to 4 or 22 but cannot have both a subgroup isomorphic to 4 and 22.
b) S4 has a subgroup isomorphic to both 4 and 22.
