Problem Statement

For which positive integers nn, one can find real numbers x1,x2,,xnx_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_n such that x12+x22++xn2(x1+2x2++nxn)2=274n(n+1)(2n+1)\dfrac{x_1^2+x_2^2+\cdots+x_n^2}{\left(x_1+2x_2+\cdots+nx_n\right)^2}=\dfrac{27}{4n(n+1)(2n+1)} and ixi2ii\leq x_i\leq 2i for all i=1,2,,ni=1,2,\cdots ,n ?
