Solution

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram. P is the mid point of CD.
Q is the point on AC such that CQ=14AC
PQ produced meets BC in R. Join BD, let BD intersect AC in O.
O is the mid point of AC (Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other)
hence, OC=12AC
OQ=OCCQ
OQ=12AC14AC
OQ=14AC
OQ=CQ
Therefore, Q is the mid point of OC.
In OCD,
P is the mid point of CD and Q is the mid point of OC.
BY mid point theorem,
PQOD or PROD
Now, In BCD,
P is the mid point of CD and PRBD,
By converse of mid point theorem, R is the mid point of BC
