By what way you clicked the geometrical analogy. I spent around an hour for calculation but even I didn't able to solve the problem. In my calc, I got struck in a 8 degree polynomial with variable a and the value of constant was 2^24. Please give me some tips about your intuition regarding the solution. Hope,I may get result soon.

See the shapes of the equations given. Compare with the cosine rule of triangles. That is the key.

Let D be a point inside a triangle △ A B C such that
∣ D A ∣ = a , ∣ D B ∣ = 3 b , ∣ D C ∣ = c , ∣ A B ∣ = 5 , ∣ B C ∣ = 3 , ∣ C A ∣ = 4 , ∠ A D B = 1 5 0 ° , ∠ B D C = 9 0 ° , ∠ C D A = 1 2 0 ° .
Then a , b , c satisfy the given equations.
Then the sum of the areas of △ D A B , △ D B C , △ D C A is the area of △ A B C . That is,
2 1 ( a c sin 1 2 0 ° + 3 a b sin 1 5 0 ° + 3 b c sin 9 0 ° ) = 2 1 × 3 × 4 ⟹ 3 a b + 2 b c + 3 c a = 2 4 .
