[7] Sands raised the following questions:

(1) Must a hereditary radical which is right strong be left strong?

(2) Must a right hereditary radical be left hereditary?

(3) (Example 6) Does there exist a right strong radical containing the prime radical β which is not left strong or hereditary?

Negative answers to questions (1) and (2) were given by Beidar [1].

In this paper we present different examples to answer (1) and (2), and we answer (3). We prove that the strongly prime radical defined in [4, 5] is right but not left strong. In the proof we use an example given by Parmenter, Passman and Stewart [6]. The same example and the strongly prime radical are used to answer (2) and (3).
