i
False. Let G=S3​ and H=K=⟨(12)⟩. For g=(13), direct multiplication gives the double coset
HgH={(13),(132),(123),(23)}.
(1)
It has four elements, and 4∤6=∣S3​∣. This is a concrete example of double-coset sizes not dividing group order; Lagrange's theorem applies to subgroups, not to arbitrary double cosets.
