    In 1975, P. Erd\H{o}s proposed the problem of determining the maximum number f(n)f(n) of edges in a graph on nn vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. Let fβˆ—(n)f^{\ast}(n) be the maximum number of edges in a simple graph on nn vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. Let MnM_n be the set of simple graphs on nn vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths and with the edges of fβˆ—(n)f^{\ast}(n). Let mc(n)mc(n) be the maximum cycle length for all G∈MnG \in M_n. In this paper, it is proved that for nn sufficiently large, mc(n)≀1516nmc(n)\leq \frac{15}{16}n. We make the following conjecture: lim⁑nβ†’βˆžmc(n)n=0.\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} {mc(n)\over n}= 0.Comment: 6 page
