Erdős problem 253

Let a1<a2<…a_1 < a_2 < \dotsc be an infinite sequence of positive integers such that ai+1ai→1\frac{a_{i+1}}{a_i} \to 1. If every arithmetic progression contains infinitely many integers which are the sum of distinct aia_i then every sufficiently large integer is the sum of distinct aia_i.
