Detailed Solution

In triangle ABC  cos2A+cos2B+cos2C+2cosAcosBcosC=1
 cos2A+cos2B+2sinAsinBcosC=158  ________(1)
cos2B+cos2C+2sinBsinCcosA=149  _________(2)
Add  cos2C+2(cosAcosBsinAsinB)cosC  to both sides of the first given equation.
 1=1582cos2C+cos2C
so cosC is  78 and therefore sin C is 18
Similarly, we have cos A = 1491=59 

cos2C+cos2A+2sinCsinAcosB=x   ______(3)
Add 1 & 3, we get
cos2B+cos2C=x18           _______(4)
Add 2 & 3, we get
cos2A+cos2B=x49___________(5)
sinB=sin(A+C)  can be computed first and then  cos2B  is easily found.
 cos2C+cos2A+2sinCsinAcosB=11143572
