OABC and OPQR are parallelograms. A is a point on OP and C is a point on OR. OA = a and OC = c. OA : OP = 1 : 4 and OC : CR = 2 : 3. [Figure showing two parallelograms OABC and OPQR, with A on OP and C on OR. Vectors a and c are shown.]

  1. (a)Find OR in terms of c.[1]
  2. (b)Find CQ, as simply as possible, in terms of a and c.[2]
  3. (c)Find the ratio area OABC : area OPQR.[1]
