Abstract: Let $mathfrakX$ be a class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, homomorphic images, and extensions. Denote by ${mathrmk}_{mathfrakX}(G)$ the number of conjugacy classes $mathfrakX$-maximal subgroups of a finite group $G$. The natural problem to describe up to conjugacy $mathfrakX$-maximal subgroups of a given finite group is complicated by the fact that it is not inductive. In particular, generally speaking, the image of an $mathfrakX$-maximal subgroup is not $mathfrakX$-maximal in the image of a homomorphism. Nevertheless, there are group homomorphisms which preserve the number of conjugacy classes of $mathfrakX$-maximal subgroups (for example, the homomorphisms whose kernels are $mathfrakX$-groups). Under such homomorphisms, the image of an $mathfrakX$-maximal subgroup is always $mathfrakX$-maximal and, moreover, there is a natural bijection between the conjugacy classes of $mathfrakX$-maximal subgroups of the image and preimage. All such homomorphisms are completely described in the paper. More precisely, it is proved that, for a homomorphism $phi$ from a group $G$, the equality ${mathrmk}_{mathfrakX}(G)={mathrmk}_{mathfrakX}(mathrmim,phi)$ holds if and only if ${mathrmk}_{mathfrakX}(kerphi)=1$, which in turn is equivalent to the fact that the composition factors of the kernel of $phi$ belong to an explicitly given list.
