Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\1&\text{b}^2+\text{ca}&\text{b}^3\\1&\text{c}^2+\text{ab}&\text{c}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=-(\text{a}-\text{b})(\text{b}-\text{c})(\text{c}-\text{b})(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2)$
$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\1&\text{b}^2+\text{ca}&\text{b}^3\\1&\text{c}^2+\text{ab}&\text{c}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
Apply: R2 → R2 - R1 and R3 → R3 - R1
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&\text{b}^2+\text{ca}-\text{a}^2-\text{bc}&\text{b}^3-\text{a}^3\\0&\text{c}^2+\text{abb}+\text{ca}-\text{a}^2-\text{bc}&\text{c}^3-\text{a}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{b}^2-\text{a}^2)-\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{b}^3-\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{c}^2-\text{a}^2)-\text{b}(\text{c}-\text{a})&\text{c}^3-\text{a}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{b}-\text{a})(\text{b}+\text{a}-\text{c})&\text{b}^3-\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{c}-\text{a})(\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b})&\text{c}^3-\text{a}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})(\text{c}-\text{a})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{b}+\text{a}-\text{c})&\text{b}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ab}\\0&(\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b})&\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ac} \end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})(\text{c}-\text{a})\big[(\text{b}+\text{a}-\text{c})(\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ac})\\-(\text{b}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ab})(\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ac})\big]$
$=-(\text{a}-\text{b})(\text{b}-\text{c})(\text{c}-\text{b})(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2)$
$=\text{R.H.S}$
