Diagram NOT accurately drawn
\(AB\) is parallel to \(DC\)
\(DC = 2AB\)
\(M\) is the midpoint of \(BC\)
\(\overrightarrow{AD} = 2\mathbf{b}\)
\(\overrightarrow{AB} = 4\mathbf{a}\)
Give your answer in its simplest form. (2)
\(N\) is the point such that \(DCN\) is a straight line and \(DC : CN = 2 : 1\)
