problem

For a nonempty set SS of integers, let σ(S)\sigma(S) be the sum of the elements of SS . Suppose that A={a1,a2,,a11}A = \{a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{11}\} is a set of positive integers with a1<a2<<a11a_1 < a_2 < \cdots < a_{11} and that, for each positive integer n1500n \le 1500 , there is a subset SS of AA for which σ(S)=n\sigma(S) = n . What is the smallest possible value of a10a_{10} ?

Original LaTeX notation
For a nonempty set $S$ of integers, let $\sigma(S)$ be the sum of the elements of $S$ . Suppose that $A = \{a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{11}\}$ is a set of positive integers with $a_1 < a_2 < \cdots < a_{11}$ and that, for each positive integer $n \le 1500$ , there is a subset $S$ of $A$ for which $\sigma(S) = n$ . What is the smallest possible value of $a_{10}$ ?
