Question
$\begin{vmatrix}0&\text{b}^2\text{a}&\text{c}^2\text{a}\\\text{a}^2\text{b}&0&\text{c}^2\text{b}\\\text{a}^2\text{c}&\text{b}^2\text{c}&0\end{vmatrix}=2\text{a}^3\text{b}^3\text{c}^3$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}0&\text{b}^2\text{a}&\text{c}^2\text{a}\\\text{a}^2\text{b}&0&\text{c}^2\text{b}\\\text{a}^2\text{c}&\text{b}^2\text{c}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$=\frac{1}{\text{abc}}\begin{vmatrix}0&\text{b}^3\text{a}&\text{c}^3\text{a}\\\text{a}^3\text{b}&0&\text{c}^3\text{b}\\\text{a}^3\text{c}&\text{b}^3\text{c}&0\end{vmatrix}$ [Multiplying the three columns by a, b, and c]
$=\frac{\text{abc}}{\text{abc}}\begin{vmatrix}0&\text{b}^3&\text{c}^3\\\text{a}^3&0&\text{c}^3\\\text{a}^3&\text{b}^3&0\end{vmatrix}$ [Taking out a, b and c common from the three rows]
$=\text{b}^3\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}^3&\text{c}^3\\\text{a}^3&0\end{vmatrix}+\text{c}^3\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}^3&0\\\text{a}^3&\text{b}^3\end{vmatrix}$ [Expanding along $R_1$]
$=2\text{a}^3\text{b}^3\text{c}^3$
