Let S = a + b + c = perimeter, It is known that the sum of any two sides of a triangle > 2 S . Then 2 ( a + b ) 2 ( a + c ) 2 ( b + c ) > S > S > S ⟹ b + c a + a + c b + a + b c < ( a + b + c ) 2 ( a + b + c ) = 2
If a , b , c are sides of a triangle, then the minimum of
b + c a + a + c b + a + b c = 1 . 5 which is less than 2
The minimum is 1.5, but what about the maximum?

Is it 2 ?

@Ossama Ismail – Thank you. I think that is the solution to your other problem, the maximum one. I just solved it right now, hopefully I got it right :)
By Inequalities we know that b + c a + a + c b + a + b c ≥ 2 3 = 1 . 5
So it can be also said that it is lesser than 2.
It So it falls in the range , 2 > b + c a + a + c b + a + b c ≥ 2 3
How can you say that it is less than 2 when you only know(by Nesbitt's inequality) that it is greater than or equal to 1.5?

By Ravi's substitution, let a = x + y , b = y + z , c = z + x .
So, b + c a + c + a b + a + b c
= x + y + 2 z x + y + y + z + 2 x y + z + z + x + 2 y z + x
< x + y + z x + y + y + z + x y + z + z + x + y z + x
= x + y + z 2 ( x + y + z ) = 2
