Let p be a prime and H be a subgroup of a group G of order 2p. If H is not normal in G, then by Lagrange's Theorem, H must have order 2. This is because the only possible orders for H are 2, p, or 2p. If the order is 2p, then H = G and is normal. If the order is p, then the index of H in G is 2, meaning H is normal. Therefore, if H is not normal, its order must be 2.
