Given a finite group G, the Frattini subgroup of G, Φ(G) is defined to be the intersection of all the maximal subgroups of G. Of late there have been several attempts to consider generalizations of Φ(G). For example, Gaschutz [7] and Rose [13] have investigated the intersection of all non-normal, maximal subgroups of a finite group. Deskins [6] has discussed the intersection of the family of maximal subgroups of a finite group whose indices are co-prime to a given prime. In [4-5, 12] we have considered the investigation of the family of all maximal subgroups of a finite group whose indices are composite and co-prime to a given prime. We have obtained several results about the family . In this paper which is a sequel to [4] we prove some further results about this family indicating the interesting role it plays especially when G is solvable or p-solvable. First we recall the main definition from [4].
