Let $ ABCD$ be a trapezoid with parallel sides $ AB > CD$. Points $ K$ and $ L$ lie on the line segments $ AB$ and $ CD$, respectively, so that $AK/KB=DL/LC$. Suppose that there are points $ P$ and $ Q$ on the line segment $ KL$ satisfying \[\angle{APB} = \angle{BCD}\qquad\text{and}\qquad \angle{CQD} = \angle{ABC}.\]Prove that the points $ P$, $ Q$, $ B$ and $ C$ are concyclic.
