Solution is:
for first part of LHS:
a3sin(B-C)
=(2RsinA)3.sin(B−C)
=2R3⋅2sin2A⋅2sinA⋅sin(B−C)
=2R3⋅(1−cos2A)⋅[cos(A−B+C)−cos(A+B−C)]
=2R3⋅(1−cos2A)⋅[cos(π−2B)−cos(π−2C)]
=2R3⋅(1−cos2A)⋅(cos2C−cos2B)
=2R3⋅(cos2C−cos2B−cos2A⋅cos2C+cos2A⋅cos2B)
Similarly for 2nd part
ie.
b3sin(C-A) = 2R3(cos2A−cos2C−cos2A⋅cos2B+cos2B⋅cos2C)
and 3rd part is
c3sin(A-B) = 2R3(cos2B−cos2A−cos2B⋅cos2C+cos2A⋅cos2C)
Now putting these value in the equation and adding and subtracting we get
a3sin(B-C)+ b3sin(C-A) + c3sin(A-B)= 0
=>2R3⋅(cos2C−cos2B−cos2A⋅cos2C+cos2A⋅cos2B) + 2R3(cos2A−cos2C−cos2A⋅cos2B+cos2B⋅cos2C)+2R3(cos2B−cos2A−cos2B⋅cos2C+cos2A⋅cos2C)
=> 0 proved
