Abstract: Given a finite group $G$. The generating pair $(H,a)$ of $G$, that is, $H<G$ and $ainG$ such that $langlea,Hangle=G$. In this paper, we introduce the definition of FF-subgroup to characterize the generating pairs of the symmetric groups, alternating groups and projective groups $PSL(2,q)$. This gives a partial answer to an open problem of J. Andr'e and J. Ara'ujo and P. J. Cameron.
