@Dinesh Chavan To create brackets which wrap around the fraction, use \text{\left(} and \text{\right)} .
Exactly the same as I did!! BTW, nice problem!

SinA/a=SinB/b=SinC/c=k and CosA=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/2bc and so on then put in the question and get a easy product which is ((a^2+b^2)-c^2)/2c^2. then put the given values in equation.

OK, We have to find the value of cot A + cot B cot C Let us now simplify the numerator and denominator and bring them in terms of sin , cos . N u m e r a t o r ⇒ sin C cos C D e n o m i n a t o r ⇒ sin A cos A + sin B cos B ⇒ sin A × sin B sin C
OK, Now we come to our simplified version of question that
cot A + cot B cot C = ( sin C sin A ) × ( sin C sin A ) × cos C
Now, by sine rule we know that sin C sin A = c a , sin C sin B = c b . And from cosine rule cos C = 2 × a × b a 2 + b 2 − c 2 . Therefore Plugging all these results in our result, we get;;;
( sin C sin A ) × ( sin C sin A ) × cos C = 2 a b c 2 a b ( a 2 + b 2 − c 2 ) = 2 2 0 1 1 − 2 1 = 1 0 0 5
