Solution

(i) a,b,c(bc)(b+c)
cyclic expressions refers to substitution of variables in cyclic manner.
Here, a,b,c are variables & the two expressions are multiplied.
So, a,b,c(bc)(b+c)=(bc)(b+c)+(ca)(c+a)+(ab)(a+b)
=b2c2+c2a2+a2b2
=0
(ii) (a,b,ca)2(a,b,ca2)
(a+b+c)2(a2+b2+c2)
a2+b2+c2+2ab+2ca+2bca2b2c2
2(ab+bc+ca)
(iii) a,b,c(a+1)3(b2c2)
(a+1)3(b2c2)+(b+1)3(c2a2)+(c+1)3(a2b2)
(a3+3a2+3a+1)(b2c2)+(b3+3b2+3b+1)(c2a2)+(c3+3c2+3c+1)(a2b2)
a3b2a3c2+3a2b23a2c2+3ab23ac2+b2c2+b3c2b3a2+3b2c23b2a2
+3bc23ba2+c2a2+c3a2c3b2+3c2a23c2b2+3ca23cb2+a2b2
a3b2a3c2+3ab23ac2+b3c2b3a2+3bc23ba2+c3a2c3b2+3ca23cb2
(a3+3a)(b2c2)+(b3+3b)(c2a2)+(c3+3c)(a2b2)
