Vector geometry — practice question

$OACB$ forms a parallelogram. $\overrightarrow{OA} = \mathbf{a}$ and $\overrightarrow{OB} = \mathbf{b}$. $P$ and $Q$ are points on $OC$ such that $OP = PQ = QC$.
(a(i))[1]

In terms of $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$, write $\overrightarrow{OP}$ in its simplest form.

(a(ii))[1]

In terms of $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$, express $\overrightarrow{BP}$ in the simplest possible form.

(b)[2]

Prove that triangles $OAQ$ and $CBP$ are congruent.
