Question 2

Find the smallest real constant $C$ such that for any positive real numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}$ and $a_{5}$ (not necessarily distinct), one can always choose distinct subscripts $i, j, k$ and $l$ such that

$$
\left|\frac{a_{i}}{a_{j}}-\frac{a_{k}}{a_{l}}\right| \leqslant C .
$$
