Dear Khushboo,

You can write a=eθ, b=eΦ, c=eΨ

Now a/b+b/c+c/a = eθ-Φ+eΦ-Ψ+eΨ-θ = 1 (given). Taking the real part of both the sides you get cos(θ-Φ)+cos(Φ-ψ)+cos(ψ-θ)=1

Please feel free to post as many doubts on our discussion forum as you can.we will get you the answer and detailed  solution very  quickly. All the best.
