Let MM be a point inside a triangle ABCABC. The line through MM parallel to ACAC meets ABAB at NN and BCBC at KK. The lines through MM parallel to ABAB and BCBC meet ACAC at DD and LL, respectively. Another line through MM intersects the sides ABAB and BCBC at PP and RR respectively such that PM=MRPM=MR. Given that the area of ABC\triangle ABC is SS and that CKCB=a\frac{CK}{CB}=a, compute the area of PQR\triangle PQR.
