Abstract: For a set

A

, let

P (A)

be the set of all finite subset sums of

A

. In this paper, for a sequence of integers

B = 1 < b_{1} < b_{2} < c d o t s

and

3 b_{1} + 5 l e q b_{2} l e q 6 b_{1} + 10

, we determine the critical value for

b_{3}

such that there exists an infinite sequence

A

of positive integers for which

P (A) = m a t h b b N s e t m i n u s B

. This result shows that we partially solve the problem of Fang and Fang [`On an inverse problem in additive number theory', Acta Math. Hungar. 158(2019), 36-39].
