## Abstract

In this article we calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set   \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(\Phi )=\left\{ x\in \lbrack 0,1):\begin{aligned}a_{n+1}(x)a_n(x) \geq \Phi(n) \ {\rm for \ infinitely \ many \ } n\in \mathbb N \ {\rm and } \\ a_{n+1}(x)< \Phi(n) \ {\rm for \ all \ sufficiently \ large \ } n\in \mathbb N \end{aligned}\right\} \end{equation*} where $\Phi :\mathbb{N}\rightarrow (1,\infty)$ is any function with $\lim_{n\to \infty} \Phi(n)=\infty.$ This in turn contributes to the metrical theory of continued fractions as well as gives insights about the set of Dirichlet non-improvable numbers.
