Let \(G\) be a finite group, and suppose that for any two subgroups \(H\) and \(K\) of \(G\) either \(H \subseteq K \ or \ K \subseteq H\). Prove that \(G\) is a cyclic group of prime power order.

Show that the direct product of two infinite cyclic groups in not cyclic.

Determine the number of subgroups of \((\mathbb{Z_{360}},+)\). Also determine the number of automorphisms of \((\mathbb{Z_{360}},+)\).

Prove that the homomorphic image of a cyclic (abelian) group is cyclic (abelian). Give an example to show that if the homomorphic image of a group is cyclic (abelian), the same may not hold for the group itself.

In \((\mathbb{Z_{24}},+)\) find all \(m \in \mathbb{Z_{24}}\) such that \(\langle 21 \rangle = \langle m \rangle \).

Show that \((\mathbb{Q^+}, .)\), the multiplicative group of positive rational numbers, is not a cyclic group.

Let \(f:G \rightarrow G^\prime \) be a homomorphism of groups. Show that if \(H^\prime \unlhd G^\prime\) , then \(f^{-1}(H^\prime ) \unlhd G\) and \(\ker f \subseteq f^{-1}(H^\prime)\). Further show that if \(f\) is surjective and \(H \unlhd G \), then \(f(H) \unlhd G^\prime \) .

Show by an example that we can find groups \(G,H,K\) such that \(K \unlhd G\) and \(H \unlhd K\), but \(H\) is not a normal subgroup of \(G\).

Give an example of a group \(G\) and a subgroup \(H\) of \(G\) such that for some \(a \in G , aHa^{-1} \subsetneq H\).

If a cyclic subgroup \(T\) of a group \(G\) is normal in \(G\), then show that every subgroup of \(T\) is normal in \(G\).

Show that if every cyclic subgroup of a group \(G\) is normal in \(G\), then every subgroup of \(G\) is normal.
