Let G be a group. A subset X of G is said to be non-commuting if xy ≠ yx for any x, y ∈ X with x ≠ y. If {X}≥ IYI for any other non-commuting set Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal non-commuting set. In this paper, the bound for the cardinality of a maximal non-commuting set in a finite p-group G is determined, where G is a non-abelian p-group given by a central extension as1 → Zp→ G →Zp *→ * Zp →1 and its derivedsubgroup has order p.
