The diagram shows the triangle \(OAB\), where \(\overrightarrow{OA}=\mathbf a\) and \(\overrightarrow{OB}=\mathbf b\).
The point \(P\) lies on \(OA\) such that \(\overrightarrow{OP}=\dfrac34\overrightarrow{OA}\).
The point \(Q\) lies on \(AB\) such that \(\overrightarrow{AQ}=\dfrac13\overrightarrow{AB}\).
The straight line through \(P\) and \(Q\) meets the straight line through \(O\) and \(B\) at the point \(R\).
It is given that \(\overrightarrow{OR}=\lambda\mathbf b\) and \(\overrightarrow{PR}=\mu\overrightarrow{PQ}\), where \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are constants.
