Since a , b , c are sides of a triangle , so a , b , c > 0
using concept of weighted means
1 + 1 + 1 + 5 a 3 + b 3 + c 3 + a b c 5 ≥ ( a 3 b 3 c 3 ( a b c ) 5 ) 3 + 5 1
a 3 + b 3 + c 3 + a b c 5 ≥ a b c ( 3 + 5 )
now suppose A ≥ B and maximum value of B is C so obviously A ≥ C
3 a + b + c ≥ ( a b c ) 3 1
a b c ≤ 1 a s a + b + c = 3
thus
a 3 + b 3 + c 3 + a b c 5 ≥ 3 + 5
