  • Grade 12

Let n≥3n\geq 3 be an integer and SnS_{n} the permutation group. GG is a subgroup of SnS_{n} , generated by n−2n-2 transpositions. For all k∈{1,2,…,n}k\in\{1,2,\ldots,n\} , denote by S(k)S(k) the set {σ(k) : σ∈G}\{\sigma(k) \ : \ \sigma\in G\} .

Show that for any kk , ∣S(k)∣≤n−1|S(k)|\leq n-1 .
