Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group and $A$, $B$ and $D$ be conjugacy classes of $G$ with $DsubseteqAB=xymidxinA,yinB$. Denote by $eta(AB)$ the number of distinct conjugacy classes such that $AB$ is the union of those. Set $$. If $AB=D$ then $$ is an abelian group. If, in addition, $G$ is supersolvable, then the derived length of $$ is bounded above by $2eta(AB)$.
