Problem Statement

Let ABCD ABCD be a trapezium of parallel sides AD AD and BC BC and non-parallel sides AB AB and CD CD Let I I be the incenter of ABC ABC. It is known that exists a point QAD Q \in AD with QA Q \neq A and QD Q \neq D such that if P P is a point of the intersection of the bisectors of CQD^ \widehat{ CQD} and CAD^ \widehat{CAD} then PIAD PI \parallel AD Prove that PI\equal{}BQ
