Problem

In triangle $ABC,$ point $D$ is on $\overline{BC}$ with $CD = 2$ and $DB = 5,$ point $E$ is on $\overline{AC}$ with $CE = 1$ and $EA = 32,$ $AB = 8,$ and $\overline{AD}$ and $\overline{BE}$ intersect at $P.$ Points $Q$ and $R$ lie on $\overline{AB}$ so that $\overline{PQ}$ is parallel to $\overline{CA}$ and $\overline{PR}$ is parallel to $\overline{CB}.$ It is given that the ratio of the area of triangle $PQR$ to the area of triangle $ABC$ is $m/n,$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
