H. Prove that K is normal in G if and only if K/H is normal in G/H.

Step 1

Assume that H is a normal subgroup of G, and that K is a subgroup of G containing H. Then, we need to show that K is normal in G if and only if K/H is normal in G/H.

First, suppose that K is normal in G. We need to show that K/H is normal in G/H. Let gH be an arbitrary element of G/H, where g is an element of G. Then, we need to show that (gH)(K/H)(gH)^(-1) is a subset of K/H. Let kH be an arbitrary element of K/H. Then, we have

(gH)(kH)(gH)^(-1) = (gkg^(-1))H,

where k is an element of K. Since K is normal in G, we have gkg^(-1) is an element of K. Thus, we have (gH)(kH)(gH)^(-1) = (gkg^(-1))H is an element of K/H. Therefore, K/H is normal in G/H.
