equation, x2 - x + 2$$\lambda $$ = 0 and $$\alpha $$ and $$\gamma $$ are the roots of
the equation, $$3{x^2} - 10x + 27\lambda = 0$$, then $${{\beta \gamma } \over \lambda }$$ is equal to:

Explanation
$$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ are the roots of the
equation x2 - x + 2$$\lambda $$ = 0 .....(1)
$$ \therefore $$ $$\alpha + \beta = 1,\,\alpha \beta = 2\lambda $$
$$\alpha $$ and $$\gamma $$ are the roots of
the equation, $$3{x^2} - 10x + 27\lambda = 0$$ ......(2)
$$ \therefore $$ $$\alpha + \gamma $$ = $${{10} \over 3}$$, $$\alpha \gamma $$ = $${{27\lambda } \over 3}$$ = 9$$\lambda $$
Multiplying equation (1) by 3 and subtracting form equation (2) we get
-7x + 21$$\lambda $$ = 0
$$ \Rightarrow $$ x = 3$$\lambda $$
$$ \therefore $$ $$\alpha $$ = 3$$\lambda $$
As $$\alpha $$ is root of equation (1) so
$$\alpha $$2 - $$\alpha $$ + 2$$\lambda $$ = 0
$$ \Rightarrow $$ 9$$\lambda $$2 - 3$$\lambda $$ + 2$$\lambda $$ = 0
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\lambda $$ = $${1 \over 9}$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\alpha $$ = 3$$ \times $$ $${1 \over 9}$$ = $${1 \over 3}$$
Also $$\alpha \beta = 2\lambda $$ = $${2 \over 9}$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\beta $$ = $${2 \over 3}$$
Also $$\alpha \gamma $$ = 9$$\lambda $$ = 9$$ \times $$ $${1 \over 9}$$ = 1
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\gamma $$ = 3
$$ \therefore $$ $${{\beta \gamma } \over \lambda }$$ = $${{{2 \over 3}.3} \over {{1 \over 9}}}$$ = 18
equation x2 - x + 2$$\lambda $$ = 0 .....(1)
$$ \therefore $$ $$\alpha + \beta = 1,\,\alpha \beta = 2\lambda $$
$$\alpha $$ and $$\gamma $$ are the roots of
the equation, $$3{x^2} - 10x + 27\lambda = 0$$ ......(2)
$$ \therefore $$ $$\alpha + \gamma $$ = $${{10} \over 3}$$, $$\alpha \gamma $$ = $${{27\lambda } \over 3}$$ = 9$$\lambda $$
Multiplying equation (1) by 3 and subtracting form equation (2) we get
-7x + 21$$\lambda $$ = 0
$$ \Rightarrow $$ x = 3$$\lambda $$
$$ \therefore $$ $$\alpha $$ = 3$$\lambda $$
As $$\alpha $$ is root of equation (1) so
$$\alpha $$2 - $$\alpha $$ + 2$$\lambda $$ = 0
$$ \Rightarrow $$ 9$$\lambda $$2 - 3$$\lambda $$ + 2$$\lambda $$ = 0
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\lambda $$ = $${1 \over 9}$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\alpha $$ = 3$$ \times $$ $${1 \over 9}$$ = $${1 \over 3}$$
Also $$\alpha \beta = 2\lambda $$ = $${2 \over 9}$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\beta $$ = $${2 \over 3}$$
Also $$\alpha \gamma $$ = 9$$\lambda $$ = 9$$ \times $$ $${1 \over 9}$$ = 1
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\gamma $$ = 3
$$ \therefore $$ $${{\beta \gamma } \over \lambda }$$ = $${{{2 \over 3}.3} \over {{1 \over 9}}}$$ = 18
