2002 AIME II Problem 13

In triangle ABC, point D is on \overline{BC} with CD=2 and DB=5, point E is on \overline{AC} with CE=1 and EA=3, AB=8, and \overline{AD} and \overline{BE} intersect at P. Points Q and R lie on \overline{AB} so that \overline{PQ} is parallel to \overline{CA} and \overline{PR} is parallel to \overline{CB}. It is given that the ratio of the area of triangle PQR to the area of triangle ABC is m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
