Abstract: Let $G$ be a group, define an equivalence relation $sim$ as below: ${\displaystyle }$forall g, h in G, g sim h Longleftrightarrow |g| = |h|${\displaystyle }$ the set of sizes of equivalence classes with respect to this relation is called the same-order type of $G$ and denoted by $alpha(G)$. And $G$ is said a $alph{a}_n$-group if $|alpha(G)|=n$. Let $pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors of the order of $G$. A simple group of $G$ is called a simple $K_n$-group if $|pi(G)|=n$. We give a new characterization of simple $K_3$-groups using same-order type. Indeed we prove that a nonabelian simple group $G$ has same-order type {r, m, n, k, l} if and only if $GcongPSL(2,q)$, with $q=7,8$ or $9$. This result generalizes the main results in cite{KKA}, cite{Sh} and cite{TZ1}. Motived by the main result in cite{TZ1} L. J. Taghvasani and M. Zarrin put the following Conjecture 2.10: extit{Let $S$ be a nonabelian simple $alph{a}_n$-group and $G$ a $alph{a}_n$-group such that $|S|=|G|$. Then $ScongG$}. In this paper with a counterexample we give a negative answer to this question.
