$X$ has a normal group $Y$ so $[X: Y]=4$.
$begingroup$
Consider the following set: $$X = {sigma in S_6 | sigma(k) is odd if and only if k is odd}.$$
I would like to show that $X$ has a normal group $Y$ so $[X: Y]=4$.
How should I prove this theorem?

You should verify that it is a subgroup and that it is normal. Finally, you should figure out how big it is, so you can calculate its index.

Solution (sketch):
(a) How can we relate X to some group we are familiar with? Prove that $Xcong S_3times S_3$.
Let $S={1,2,3,4,5,6}$ be the set of elements in $S_6$ and let $S_1$ and $S_2$ denote the set of all even resp. odd numbers in $S$.
Let $f:Xrightarrow S_3times S_3$, $sigmamapsto (sigma_1,sigma_2)$, where $sigma_1=sigma|_{S_1}$, $sigma_2=sigma|_{S_2}$. You can show that $f$ is indeed an isomorphism.
(b) Now, we can calculate the size of Y: $$[X:Y]=frac{|X|}{|Y|}=frac{|S_3times S_3|}{Y}=frac{6cdot 6}{|Y|}=4.$$
(c) Take a look at the subgroups of $S_3$ (or, $S_3times S_3$). Which subgroup would be applicable? According to the required size, $Y$ should be isomorphic to $A_3times A_3$.
