Let there be positive integers $a, c$. Positive integer $b$ is a divisor of $ac-1$. For a positive rational number $r$ which is less than $1$, define the set $A(r)$ as follows. $$A(r) = \{m(r-ac)+nab| m, n \in \mathbb{Z} \}$$Find all rational numbers $r$ which makes the minimum positive rational number in $A(r)$ greater than or equal to $\frac{ab}{a+b}$.
