Let λ(G) be the cardinality of a maximal sum-free set in a group G. Diananda and Yap conjectured that if G is abelian and if every prime divisor of |G| is congruent to 1 modulo 3, then λ(G) = |G|(n−1)/3n where n is the exponent of G. This conjecture has been proved to be true for elementary abelian p−groups by Rhemtulla and Street ana for groups 
by Yap. We now prove this conjecture for groups G = Zpq ⊕ Zp where p and q are distinct primes.
