wow amazing
Also the proofs of the inequality used are given below: https://brilliant.org/wiki/nesbitts-inequality/
Proof for the inequality used at the starting of the problem:
@Ashutosh Kumar Nice one !
That was great @Ashutosh Kumar ..!! But could you please elaborate a bit more on the proof of the starting inequality , I couldn't follow that proof.

The proof of this inequality is quite tough and it was the most simple one but you can find more solution on the internet by searching IRAN 1996 inequality.

We have a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + ( a + b + c ) 2 ≤ 4 ⇔ 2 ≥ a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + a b + b c + c a (1)
We set P = ( a + b ) 2 a b + 1 + ( b + c ) 2 b c + 1 + ( c + a ) 2 c a + 1 ⇔ 2 P = ( a + b ) 2 2 a b + 2 + ( b + c ) 2 2 b c + 2 + ( c + a ) 2 2 c a + 2 (2)
From (1) and (2) we have 2 P ≥ ( a + b ) 2 2 a b + ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + a b + b c + c a ) + ( b + c ) 2 2 b c + ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + a b + b c + c a ) + ( c + a ) 2 2 c a + ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + a b + b c + c a ) ⇔ 2 P ≥ 3 + ( a + b ) 2 ( b + c ) ( c + a ) + ( b + c ) 2 ( c + a ) ( a + b ) + ( c + a ) 2 ( a + b ) ( b + c ) ≥ 3 + 3 = 6 ( A M − G M ) ⇔ 2 P ≥ 6
⇔ P ≥ 3 .
