Problem Statement

The diagram below shows ABC\vartriangle ABC with point DD on side BC\overline{BC}. Three lines parallel to side BC\overline{BC} divide segment AD\overline{AD} into four equal segments. In the triangle, the ratio of the area of the shaded region to the area of the unshaded region is 4933\frac{49}{33} and BDCD=mn\frac{BD}{CD} = \frac{m}{n} , where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm + n. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/2/8/77239633b68f073f4193aa75cdfb9238461cae.png
