Detailed Solution

Suppose the given points lies on the line lx+my+n=0, Then a,b,c are the roots of the equation  lt3+mt23+nt1=0  lt3+mt2+nt3m+n=0
The relations between the roots and coefficients are as below
Sum of the roots 
 a+b+c=ml       …… (1) 
Sum of the product of the roots taken two at a time 
  bc+ca+ab=nl       …… (2)
The product of the roots is 
 abc=3m+nl       …… (3)   
Eliminating  l,m,n  we get
 abc=3ml+nl=3a+b+c+bc+ca+ab
Therefore, the condition is   bc+ca+ababc=3a+b+c
