let AD be the perpendicular and D be the foot of the perpendicular which divides BC in the ratio λ:1 then
D10λ9λ+1,4λ+1,λ+5λ+1-----1

Question Image

 The direction ratios of AD are 10λ9λ+1,4λ+1 and λ+5λ+1

 and direction ratios of BC are 19,4 and 6

 Since ADBC, we get 

1910λ9λ+144λ+16λ+5λ+1=0

 or λ=3128

 Hence, on putting the value of λ in (i), we get required foot of 

 the perpendicular, i.e., 5859,11259,10959
