We can use the identity: sin(A-B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB
sin(A-B+C) = sinAcos(B-C) + cosAsin(B-C)
Given: sin(A-B+C) = 1/2
We know that A is acute, so sinA > 0. Therefore, we can divide both sides by sinA:
sin(A-B+C)/sinA = sinAcos(B-C)/sinA + cosAsin(B-C)/sinA
Using the fact that sinAcos(B-C) + cosAsin(B-C) = sin(A-B), we can simplify:
sin(A-B)/sinA = cos(B-C) + cotA sin(B-C)
We can use the Law of Sines to write sinA = a/2R, where a is the length of side BC and R is the radius of the circumcircle of triangle ABC. Similarly, sin(B-C) = (b-c)/2R, where b and c are the lengths of sides AC and AB, respectively. We can also use the fact that cotA = (b^2 + c^2 - a^2)/(4K), where K is the area of triangle ABC.
Substituting these into our equation, we get:
(b-c)/a = cos(B-C) + (b^2 + c^2 - a^2)/(4Ka)
Multiplying both sides by 4Ka, we get:
4K(b-c) = a^2cos(B-C) + b^2 + c^2 - a^2
Using the Law of Cosines, we can write a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cosA. Substituting this into our equation, we get:
4K(b-c) = 2bc cosA cos(B-C) + b^2 + c^2 - b^2 - c^2 + 2bc cosA
Simplifying, we get:
4K(b-c) = 2bc cosA (cos(B-C) + 1)
K = (1/2)bc sinA, so we can substitute this in:
2(b-c)sinA = 2bc cosA (cos(B-C) + 1)
Dividing by 2sinA, we get:
(b-c)/a = cos(B-C) + 1/sinA
Since sin(A-B+C) = 1/2, we know that A-B+C = 30 degrees (or pi/6 radians). Therefore, we can use the fact that sin(pi/6) = 1/2 to get sinA = 2sin(B-C).
Substituting this in, we get:
(b-c)/a = cos(B-C) + 1/(2sin(B-C))
Multiplying both sides by 2sin(B-C), we get:
2(b-c) = 2a cos(B-C) + sin(B-C)
Using the Law of Cosines again, we can write a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cosA = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos(B+C). Substituting this in, we get:
2(b-c) = 2(b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos(B+C)) cos(B-C) + sin(B-C)
Simplifying,

Hi Devutty,
Here is your answer.. :)
Sin (A+B-C) = 1/2 => Sin (A+B-C) = Sin 30^0
Cos (B+C-A) = 1/√2 => Cos (B+C-A) = Cos 45^0
=> A + B - C = 30^0
(Eq. 1)
AND, B + C - A = 45^0
(Eq. 2)
ALSO, A + B + C = 180^0
(Eq. 3)
Adding Eq. 1 & 2, we get: 2 B = 75^0
=> B = 37.5^0
Subtracting eq. 2 from eq. 3, we get: 2 A = 135^0
=> A = 67.5^0
Using value of A & B, in Eq. 3, we get C = 75^0
