Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle and let PP be an interior point of ABCABC. We assume that a line ll, which passes through PP, but not through AA, intersects ABAB and ACAC (or their extensions over BB or CC) at QQ and RR, respectively. Find ll such that the perimeter of the triangle AQRAQR is as small as possible.
