Abstract: Let $omeg{a}^{\ast }(n)$ be the number of primes $p$ such that $p-1$ divides $n$. Recently, R. M. Murty and V. K. Murty proved that ${\displaystyle }$x(loglog x)^3llsum_{nle x}omega^*(n)^2ll xlog x.${\displaystyle }$ They further conjectured that there is some positive constant $C$ such that ${\displaystyle }$sum_{nle x}omega^*(n)^2sim Cxlog x${\displaystyle }$ as $xightarrowinfty$. In this short note, we give the correct order of the sum by showing that ${\displaystyle }$sum_{nle x}omega^*(n)^2asymp xlog x.${\displaystyle }$
