Abstract

The solubility of a finite group with less than 6 non-supersoluble subgroups is confirmed in the paper. Moreover we prove that a finite insoluble group has exactly 6 non-supersoluble subgroups if and only if it is isomorphic to A_5 or SL_2 (5). Furthermore, it is shown that a finite insoluble group has exactly 22 non-nilpotent subgroups if and only if it is isomorphic to A_5 or SL_2(5). This confirms a conjecture of Zarrin (Arch Math (Basel) 99:201–206, 2012).
