Solution

Let \[\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = k\] 

Then, 


\[\frac{a}{\sin45°} = \frac{b}{\sin60° } = \frac{c}{\sin75°} = k\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{a}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = \frac{b}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{c}{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\left( 1 + \sqrt{3} \right)} \left[ \because \sin75° = \sin\left( 30°°° + 45° \right) = \sin30°\cos45° + \sin45°\cos30° \right]\]
On multiplying by \[2\sqrt{2}\] 
\[a : b : c = 2 : \sqrt{6} : \left( 1 + \sqrt{3} \right)\] 

Hence, the ratio of the sides is \[2 : \sqrt{6} : \left( 1 + \sqrt{3} \right)\]
