Is there any non-solvable finite group $G$ such that ${\rm cd}(G) =\{1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 \}$, where ${\rm cd}(G)$ is the set of irreducible character degrees of $G$. In other words we have that a normal subgroup $M$ of $G$ such that $G/M \cong A_5$. Now, how do we can construct a non-solvable finite group $G$ such that ${\rm cd}(G) =\{ 1, 3, 4, 5, a, b\}$ where $6$ divides $a$, $10$ divides $b$, and $(5, a)=(3,b)=1$ ?

4$\begingroup$ I don't understand why the first sentence implies the second sentence $\endgroup$– Yemon ChoiCommented Jul 22, 2017 at 15:00

$\begingroup$ The first sentence is a special case of the second. In other words, the relation between the degrees are important. $\endgroup$– GuestCommented Jul 22, 2017 at 15:40

2$\begingroup$ It is not true that ${\rm cd}(A_5) = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,10\}$. So the sentence beginning "In other words" is not true. $\endgroup$– Derek HoltCommented Jul 22, 2017 at 16:08

1$\begingroup$ But then doesn't $|G| = 1^{2} + 3^{2} + 4^{2} + 5^{2} + 6^{2} + 10^{2} = 187$ make that impossible, since all groups of order $187 = 11 \cdot 17$ are cyclic? $\endgroup$– DavidLHardenCommented Jul 22, 2017 at 18:04

1$\begingroup$ @DavidLHarden this is the set of irreducible character degrees but my understanding is that it ignores multiplicities. $\endgroup$– YCorCommented Jul 22, 2017 at 18:08
