Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group with derived subgroup of rank $r$. We prove that $gzzleq|G^{\prime }{|}^{2r}$. Motivated by the results of I. M. Isaacs in cite{isa} we show that if $G$ is capable then $gzleq|G^{\prime }{|}^{4r}$. This answers a question of L. Pyber. We prove that if $G$ is a capable $p$-group then the rank of $G/mathbfZ(G)$ is bounded above in terms of the rank of $G^{\prime }$.
