JEE 2016! (will vectors help?)

Geometry Level 4

The Pentagon A B C D E ABCDE has the properties A B C D , E D B C , A B C D = 1 2 , E D B C = 1 3 AB || CD , ED || BC , \dfrac{AB}{CD} = \dfrac12 , \dfrac{ED}{BC} = \dfrac13 .

Given that the straight lines A D AD and C E CE intersect at point O O to form the ratios O C E O = a b \dfrac{OC}{EO} = \dfrac ab and O D A O = c d \dfrac{OD}{AO} = \dfrac cd , where a , b , c , d a,b,c,d are positive integers with gcd ( a , b ) = gcd ( c , d ) = 1 \gcd(a,b) = \gcd(c,d) = 1 .

Find the value of a + b + c + d a+b+c+d .


The answer is 14.
