First, continue $\overline{AP}$ to hit $\overline{CD}$ at $E$ . Also continue $\overline{CP}$ to hit $\overline{AD}$ at $F$ .

We have that $\angle PAB=\angle PCB$ . Because $\overline{AB}\parallel\overline{CD}$ , we have $\angle PAB=\angle PED$ .

Similarly, because $\overline{AD}\parallel\overline{BC}$ , we have $\angle PCB=\angle PFD$ .

Therefore, $\angle PAB=\angle PED=\angle PCB=\angle PFD$ .

We also have that $\angle ADC=\angle ABC$ because $ABCD$ is a parallelogram, and $\angle APC=\angle FPE$ .

Therefore, $ABCP\sim FDEP$ . This means that $\dfrac{FD}{AB}=\dfrac{FP}{AP}=\dfrac{DP}{BP}$ , so $\Delta ABP\sim\Delta FDP$ .

Therefore, $\angle PBA=\angle PDA$ . $\Box$

Solution 2

Note that $\dfrac{1}{n}$ is rational and $n$ is not divisible by $2$ nor $5$ because $n>11$ .

This means the decimal representation of $\dfrac{1}{n}$ is a repeating decimal.

Let us set $a_1a_2\cdots a_x$ as the block that repeats in the repeating decimal: $\dfrac{1}{n}=0.\overline{a_1a_2\cdots a_x}$ .

( $a_1a_2\cdots a_x$ written without the overline used to signify one number so won't confuse with notation for repeating decimal)

The fractional representation of this repeating decimal would be $\dfrac{1}{n}=\dfrac{a_1a_2\cdots a_x}{10^x-1}$ .

Taking the reciprocal of both sides you get $n=\dfrac{10^x-1}{a_1a_2\cdots a_x}$ .

Multiplying both sides by $a_1a_2\cdots a_n$ gives $n(a_1a_2\cdots a_x)=10^x-1$ .

Since $10^x-1=9\times \underbrace{111\cdots 111}_{x\text{ times}}$ we divide $9$ on both sides of the equation to get $\dfrac{n(a_1a_2\cdots a_x)}{9}=\underbrace{111\cdots 111}_{x\text{ times}}$ .

Because $n$ is not divisible by $3$ (therefore $9$ ) since $n>11$ and $n$ is prime, it follows that $n|\underbrace{111\cdots 111}_{x\text{ times}}$ . $\Box$
