Abstract

We establish some tests for the solvability of finite groups and describe one class of unsolvable groups. We prove that an unsolvable group G such that a maximal subgroup M= P × H is nilpotent and the 2-Sylow subgroup P of M is metacyclic has a normal series GD-g0∼TD-{1} such that T is contained in M, G0/T ∼- PSL (2, q), where q is a power of a prime of the form 2n± 1 and the index of g0 in G is not greater than 2.
