Solution

(n1 = 1, n2 = 2, n3 = 3, n4 = 5, n5 = 9)

(n1 = 1, n2 = 2, n3 = 3, n4 = 6, n5 = 8)

(n1 = 1, n2 = 2, n3 = 4, n4 = 5, n5 = 8)

(n1 = 1, n2 = 2, n3 = 4, n4 = 6, n5 = 7)

(n1 = 1, n2 = 3, n3 = 4, n4 = 5, n5 = 7)

(n1 = 2, n2 = 3, n3 = 4, n4 = 5, n5 = 6)

(n1 = 1, n2 = 2, n3 = 3, n4 = 4, n5 = 10)
