 Solution

For order $48=2^4\cdot 3$, the Sylow theorems give $n_2\mid 3$ and $n_2\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}2)$, hence $n_2=1$ or $3$. If $n_2=1$, the Sylow subgroup of order $16$ is a nontrivial proper normal subgroup. If $G$ were simple in the other case, it would be nonabelian (a finite abelian simple group has prime order), and the preceding result would force $48\mid 3!/2=3$, impossible. Thus every group of order 48 is not simple.

An example with no normal Sylow subgroup for $p=2$ isIn $S_4$, $P=⟨(1234),(13)⟩$ is a dihedral group of order $8$: conjugation by $(13)$ inverts $(1234)$. Thus $P\times C_2$ has order $16$ and is a Sylow subgroup of $G$. The only transpositions in $P$ are $(13)$ and $(24)$; conjugating $(13)$ by $(23)$ gives $(12)\notin P$. Therefore $P$ and $P\times C_2$ are not normal. By conjugacy, no other Sylow subgroup for $p=2$ is normal either.
