Abstract
Let be a finite group and . There are some results about the relation between and the structure of . For instance, it is proved that if is a group of order and , then is solvable. Herzog {\it{et al.}} in [Herzog {\it{et al.}}, Two new criteria for solvability of finite groups, J. Algebra, 2018] put forward the following conjecture: \noindent{\bf Conjecture.} {\it {If is a non-solvable group of order , then with equality if and only if . In particular, this inequality holds for all non-abelian simple groups.} } In this paper, we prove a modified version of Herzog's Conjecture.
