ii
A Sylow 2-subgroup of S4​ has order 8. For example,
P=⟨(1234),(13)⟩≅D8​.
(1)
It is the normalizer of ⟨(1234)⟩. The six 4-cycles form three inverse pairs, and a dihedral group of order eight has a unique cyclic subgroup of order four. Hence the three Sylow 2-subgroups are
NS4​​(⟨(1234)⟩),NS4​​(⟨(1243)⟩),NS4​​(⟨(1324)⟩)​.
(2)
