If \(G\) is a finite solvable group of derived length \(d\) (at least 2), and \(k(G)\) denotes the number of conjugacy classes in \(G\), then \(k(G) > | G|^{1/(2^ d-1)}\). Additional lower bounds for \(k(G)\) are derived under additional assumptions, e.g. that \(G\) has a nilpotent maximal subgroup.
