Erdős problem 290

Let a1a\geq 1. Must there exist some b>ab>a such that anb1n=r1s1 and anb+11n=r2s2,\sum_{a\leq n\leq b}\frac{1}{n}=\frac{r_1}{s_1}\textrm{ and } \sum_{a\leq n\leq b+1}\frac{1}{n}=\frac{r_2}{s_2}, with (ri,si)=1(r_i,s_i)=1 and s2<s1s_2<s_1? If so, how does this b(a)b(a) grow with aa?
