Let G be a group of prime power order. Then :

  • A.G is abelian
  • B.G is simple
  • C.G is solvable
  • D.G has a Sylow subgroup which is abelian

Answer: C

The answer is G is solvable.

A group of order \(p^{n}\) has a non-trivial centre, so by induction it has a normal series with abelian (indeed cyclic of order \(p\)) factors: every \(p\)-group is nilpotent, hence solvable.

The other statements fail in general. The quaternion group of order 8 is a non-abelian 2-group. A \(p\)-group of order \(p^{n}\) with \(n \ge 2\) has normal subgroups of every order \(p^{k}\), so it is not simple. And the Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of a \(p\)-group is the whole group, which need not be abelian (again the quaternion group).
