Suppose that $F \leq E \leq \mathbb{C}$, $[E : F] = 100$, $E$ is Galois over $F$ and $G = Gal(E/F)$
contains a subgroup $H$ such that $|H| = 25$. Use Galois theory to prove that $H \triangleleft G$.
$\textbf{My attempt:}$
by Fundamental theorem of Galois theory, there exist maps $K \rightarrow Gal(E/F)$ and $H \rightarrow E^H$ such that they are inverse of each other. Which $K = E^H$ if and only if $H = Gal(E/F)$.
(1) $|H| = [E:K]$ and $[K:F]=[G:H]=\frac{|G|}{|H|}$.
(2) The extension $K/F$ is Galois if and only if $H \triangleleft G$.
Since, $|H| = 25$. Then, $[E:K] = 25$.
by Tower law, $[E:F] = [E:K] \times [K:F] = 100$.
Then, by (1), $[K:F] = 100/25 = 4$ and $[G:H] = \frac{|G|}{|H|} = 4$.
So, only need to prove that the extension $K/F$ is Galois.
Then, by (2), I can conclude that $H \triangleleft G$.
$\textbf{I know that I can use Sylow's Theorem to prove that $H \triangleleft G$ directly}$.
$\textbf{but how do I prove the extension $K/F$ is Galois without using Sylow's Theorem ? }$

Using Sylow theory is a natural thing to do. No major worries!
The following is an alternative.
I guess you can take it from here.
