Using factor theorem : 2x^{3}-x^{2}-1=2\left ( x-\alpha \right )\left ( x-\beta \right )\left ( x-\gamma \right )

Now putting x=2 both sides we get 

\left ( 2-\alpha \right )\left ( 2-\beta \right )\left ( 2-\gamma \right )=\frac{11}{2}

\therefore Option (B)

 

Factor Theorem -

Any polynomial can be written in terms of product of its factors.

- wherein

If P\left ( x \right )= 0  has roots  \alpha _{1},\alpha _{2},\cdots \alpha _{n}  and  P\left ( x \right )  has leading coefficient 'a' then then P\left ( x \right )= a\left ( x-\alpha _{1} \right )\left ( x-\alpha _{2} \right )\cdots \left ( x-\alpha _{n} \right )
