Groups with two Sylow numbers are solvable (Q1270261)

For a finite group \(G\) and for \(p\in\pi(G)\), let \(n_p(G)\) be the number of Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of \(G\). Set \(sn(G)=\{n_p(G)\mid p\in\pi(G)\}\). \textit{J. Zhang} [J. Algebra 176, No. 1, 111-123 (1995; Zbl 0832.20042)] conjectured that \(| sn(G)|=2\) implies the solvability of \(G\). In this short note the author proves Zhang's conjecture to be true and gives two other sufficient conditions for solvability in terms of \(sn(G)\).
