(C) Given the equation: $\frac{1}{a+c} + \frac{1}{b+c} = \frac{3}{a+b+c}$.Taking $LCM$ on the left side: $\frac{(b+c) + (a+c)}{(a+c)(b+c)} = \frac{3}{a+b+c}$.$\frac{a+b+2c}{ab+ac+bc+c^2} = \frac{3}{a+b+c}$.Cross-multiplying: $(a+b+2c)(a+b+c) = 3(ab+ac+bc+c^2)$.$(a+b)^2 + c(a+b) + 2c(a+b) + 2c^2 = 3ab + 3ac + 3bc + 3c^2$.$a^2 + b^2 + 2ab + 3ac + 3bc + 2c^2 = 3ab + 3ac + 3bc + 3c^2$.$a^2 + b^2 - ab = c^2$.Using the Law of Cosines: $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$.Comparing the two equations: $a^2 + b^2 - ab = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$.$-ab = -2ab \cos C$.$\cos C = \frac{1}{2}$.Therefore,$\angle C = 60^{\circ}$.

If in a $\triangle ABC$,$\frac{1}{a+c} + \frac{1}{b+c} = \frac{3}{a+b+c}$,then $\angle C$ is equal to (in $^{\circ}$)
