Order Equal to 400

If the order of a group is 400, then the following holds:

\begin{displaymath}\begin{tabular}{\vert c\vert c\vert l\vert} \hline
prime & Sy...
...2 & 16 & 1, 5 \\ \hline
5 & 25 & 1, 16 \\ \hline
\end{tabular} \end{displaymath}

Claim that n2 =1. This follows from the Index Theorem. If n2 = 5 then the index in G of NG(Syl2) = 5 and so G must be isomorphic to a subgroup of S5. But $\mid G \mid$ does not divide $\mid S_{5} \mid$ and this is a contradiction. Therefore G is not simple.
