Parallel lines ℓ1,ℓ2,ℓ3,ℓ4\ell_{1}, \ell_{2}, \ell_{3}, \ell_{4} are evenly spaced in the plane, in that order. Square ABCDA B C D has the property that AA lies on ℓ1\ell_{1} and CC lies on ℓ4\ell_{4}. Let PP be a uniformly random point in the interior of ABCDA B C D and let QQ be a uniformly random point on the perimeter of ABCDA B C D. Given that the probability that PP lies between ℓ2\ell_{2} and ℓ3\ell_{3} is 53100\frac{53}{100}, the probability that QQ lies between ℓ2\ell_{2} and ℓ3\ell_{3} can be expressed as ab\frac{a}{b}, where aa and bb are relatively prime positive integers. Compute 100a+b100 a+b.
