Erdős problem 434

Let k≤nk \le n. What choice of A⊆{1,…,n}A\subseteq\{1, \dots, n\} (with gcd(A)=1\text{gcd}(A) = 1) of size ∣A∣=k|A| = k maximises the number of integers not representable as the sum of finitely many elements from AA (with repetitions allowed)? Is it {n,n−1,…,n−k+1}\{n, n - 1, \dots, n - k + 1\}?
