SILK-ROAD 2015 Problem 2

    Let {an}n≥1\left\{ {{a}_{n}} \right\}_{n \geq 1} and {bn}n≥1\left\{ {{b}_{n}} \right\}_{n \geq 1} be two infinite arithmetic progressions, each of which the first term and the difference are mutually prime natural numbers. It is known that for any natural nn , at least one of the numbers (an2+an+12)(bn2+bn+12)\left( a_n^2+a_{n+1}^2 \right)\left( b_n^2+b_{n+1}^2 \right) or (an2+bn2)(an+12+bn+12)\left( a_n^2+b_n^2 \right) \left( a_{n+1}^2+b_{n+1}^2 \right) is an perfect square. Prove that an=bn{{a}_{n}}={{b}_{n}} , for any natural nn .
