\(ABCD\) is a trapezium with \(AB\parallel DC\), \(\overrightarrow{AB}=16\mathbf p\), and \(\overrightarrow{AD}=5\mathbf q\). \(P\) lies on \(BD\) such that \(DP:DB=1:4\), and \(4AB=3DC\).

  1. Express in terms of (mathbf p) and (mathbf q):
    1. \(\overrightarrow{DB}\),[1]
    2. \(\overrightarrow{AP}\).[2]
  2. Show that \(BC\parallel AP\).[2]
  3. Find the ratio area of triangle (APB) : area of triangle (BCD).[3]
