Given that \lambda(x^{2}-\lambda)+x+5=0

\therefore\ \;\lambda x^{2}+x(1-\lambda)+5=0

\therefore\ \;\alpha+\beta=\frac{\lambda-1}{\lambda} and \therefore\ \;\alpha+\beta=\frac{5}{\lambda}

\therefore\ \;\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}+\frac{4}{5}=0

\therefore\ \;\frac{\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}}{\alpha\beta}+\frac{4}{5}=0

\therefore\ \;\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}-2\alpha \beta}{\alpha\beta}+\frac{4}{5}=0

\therefore\ \; \frac{\left(\frac{\lambda-1}{\lambda} \right )^{2}-2.\frac{5}{\lambda}}{\frac{5}{\lambda}}+\frac{4}{5}=0

\Rightarrow\ \;(\lambda-1)^{2}-10\lambda+4=0

\Rightarrow\ \;\lambda^{2}-2\lambda+1-10\lambda+4=0

\Rightarrow\ \;\lambda^{2}+8\lambda+1=0

\therefore\ \;\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}=8,    \lambda_{1}.\lambda_{2}=1

\Rightarrow\ \;\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}^{2}}+\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}^{2}}        \Rightarrow\ \;\frac{\lambda_{1}^{3}+\lambda_{2}^{3}}{\lambda_{1}^{2}\lambda_{2}^{2}}        \Rightarrow\ \;\frac{(\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2})^{3}-3\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}(\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2})}{(\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2})^{2}}

\Rightarrow\ \;\frac{8^{3}-3.1.8}{1^{2}}=8(8^{2}-3)=8\times 61=488
