Let PP and QQ be points on line ll with PQ=12P Q=12. Two circles, ω\omega and Ω\Omega, are both tangent to ll at PP and are externally tangent to each other. A line through QQ intersects ω\omega at AA and BB, with AA closer to QQ than BB, such that AB=10A B=10. Similarly, another line through QQ intersects Ω\Omega at CC and DD, with CC closer to QQ than DD, such that CD=7C D=7. Find the ratio AD/BCA D / B C.
