Alice is standing on the circumference of a large circular room of radius $10$. There is a circular pillar in the center of the room of radius $5$ that blocks Alice’s view. The total area in the room Alice can see can be expressed in the form $\frac{m\pi}{n} +p\sqrt{q}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $p$ and $q$ are integers such that $q$ is square-free. Compute $m + n + p + q$. (Note that the pillar is not included in the total area of the room.)

There are $n$ ($n \ge 4$) straight lines on the plane.
