Problem Statement

In triangle ABC ABC, M M is the midpoint of side BC BC and G G is the centroid of triangle ABC ABC. A line l l passes through G G, intersecting line AB AB at P P and line AC AC at Q Q, where PB P\ne B and QC Q\ne C. If [XYZ] [XYZ] denotes the area of triangle XYZ XYZ, show that \frac{[BGM]}{[PAG]}\plus{}\frac{[CMG]}{[QGA]}\equal{}\frac32.
