Let $A_1, A_2, ... , A_k$ be the subsets of $\left\{1,2,3,...,n\right\}$ such that for all $1\leq i,j\leq k$:$A_i\cap A_j \neq \varnothing$. Prove that there are $n$ distinct positive integers $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ such that for each $1\leq j\leq k$: $$lcm_{i \in A_j}\left\{x_i\right\}>lcm_{i \notin A_j}\left\{x_i\right\}$$Proposed by Morteza Saghafian, Mahyar Sefidgaran
