Fuchs((1), Problem 22) has asked the following question: Given positive integers ri (1 ≤ i ≤ 4) such thatr1 + r2 = r3 + r4, r1 ≠ r3, r1 ≠ r4, do there exist indecomposable torsion-free Abelian groups Gi (1 ≤ i ≤ 4) such that, where Gi is of rank ri (1 ≤ i ≤ 4)?* We shall show in this note that there do always exist groups Gi with the desired properties; in fact, we shall prove the following stronger result
