#### Streszczenie

The aim this paper is to present an answer to Problem 1 of Monk [10], [11]. We do this by proving in particular that if μ is a strong limit singular cardinal, $θ = (2^{cf(μ)})^+$ and $2^μ = μ^+$ then there are Boolean algebras $\mathbb{B}_1,\mathbb{B}_2$ such that $c(\mathbb{B}_1) = μ, c(\mathbb{B}_2) < θ but c(\mathbb{B}_1*\mathbb{B}_2)=μ^+$. Further we improve this result, deal with the method and the necessity of the assumptions. In particular we prove that if $\mathbb{B}$ is a ccc Boolean algebra and $μ^{ℶ_ω} ≤ λ = cf(λ) ≤ 2^μ$ then $\mathbb{B}$ satisfies the λ-Knaster condition (using the "revised GCH theorem").
