Problem 1.6 Hints:

Assume $a(a+1)\cdot t(t+1)$ is interesting for some $t$. Now, try to think wishfully-wouldn't it be great if $(a+1)(t+1)$ and $at$ were consecutive integers? Unfortunately, this doesn't work. So, following the same logic, what else can you do?

I will admit that I spent most of the time while solving this problem concentrating on the factorization of $a^4+a^2+1$. That did not work out well for me.

$r$ এর জায়গায় $i$ হবে।
