Problem Statement

Distinct positive integers AA and BB are given.. Prove that there exist infinitely many positive integers that can be represented both as x12+Ay12x_{1}^2+Ay_{1}^2 for some positive coprime integers x1x_{1} and y1,y_{1}, and as x22+By22x_{2}^2+By_{2}^2 for some positive coprime integers x2x_{2} and y2.y_{2}.
