Solution:

Let $a = \frac{PA}{AD}.$ Since $AQ \parallel DC,$ triangles $PAQ$ and $PDC$ are similar, so $\frac{PQ}{PC} = \frac{PA}{PD} = \frac{a}{a+1}.$ Since $BC \parallel AD,$ i.e. $BC \parallel PD,$ triangles $RBC$ and $RDP$ are similar, so $\frac{RC}{RP} = \frac{BC}{PD} = \frac{1}{a+1},$ which gives $\frac{RC}{PC} = \frac{1}{a+2}.$

Writing $PC = L,$ we get $PQ = \frac{a}{a+1}L,$ $RC = \frac{L}{a+2},$ and $$QR = L - PQ - RC = \frac{L}{(a+1)(a+2)}.$$ Hence $\frac{PQ}{QR} = a(a+2) = \frac{735}{112} = \frac{105}{16},$ so $16a^2 + 32a - 105 = 0,$ which factors as $(4a - 7)(4a + 15) = 0,$ giving $a = \frac{7}{4}.$

Finally $RC = (a + 1)\,QR = \frac{11}{4} \cdot 112 = 308.$
