Ba(CN)3+H2SO4-->BaSO4+HCN
Please help me balance it

This can't be balanced as is. As it is written, you need one CN for every H and one Ba for every SO4. Since you have 2H for every SO4, you would need 2CN for every Ba, but you have 3.
Hence, it doesn't work (as it's written)

2 Ba(CN)3 + 3 H2SO4 ---> 2 BaSO4 + 6 HCN .
Balancing shud be done stoichiometrically ...i.e; number of atoms of an element shud be the same in both sides of the equation.
Cheers!!!

Your equation is wrong it should be
Ba(CN)2+H2SO4-->>BaSO4+2HCN--Ba valency is only 2 and CN valency is 1(B is to be read as Ba)

It needs one more H and 2 more CN
Different web sites can help explain how that can be done.
Make sure they are edu or org though.

I have provided a formula for working things like this out in one of your other questions.
