Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{b}&\text{c}\\\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}\\\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{c}+\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{b}&\text{c}\\\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}\\\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{c}+\text{a}+\text{b}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 + R_2]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{b}&\text{c}\\\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}\\1&1&1\end{vmatrix}$ [Taking $(a + b + c)$ common]
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{b}&\text{c}\\\text{b}&\text{c}&\text{a}\\1&1&1\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_1 - R_2]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}\\\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{a}\\0&0&1\end{vmatrix}$ $[C_1 \rightarrow C_1 - C_2$ and $C_2 \rightarrow C_2 - C_3]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\big[-1\{(\text{a}-\text{b})(\text{c}-\text{a})-(\text{b}-\text{c})^2\}\big]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\big[-\{\text{ac}-\text{bc}-\text{a}^2+\text{ab}-\text{b}^2-\text{c}^2+2\text{bc}\}\big]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{ab}-\text{bc}-\text{ca})$
$=\text{a}^3+\text{b}^3+\text{c}^3-3\text{abc}=\text{ R.H.S}$
