Problem Statement

Let ABCBC be a triangle with AB=5,AC=4,BC=6AB = 5, AC = 4, BC = 6. The internal angle bisector of CC intersects the side ABAB at DD. Points MM and NN are taken on sides BCBC and ACAC, respectively, such that DMACDM\parallel AC and DNBCDN \parallel BC. If (MN)2=pq(MN)^2 =\frac{p}{q} where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers then what is the sum of the digits of pq|p - q|?
