Question

(a) Give an example of a normal subgroup of a group which is not characteristic.

(b) Find the derived group of:

(i) G=< a,b, :a4=b2=(ab)2=1>,

(ii) G=<a, b : a2=b2=(ab)2>.

and hence verify that the corresponding factor groups are abelian.

(c) Show that the derived group of a non-abelian simple group coincides with that group.
