The correct answer is: -1,2

-3<x2-λx-2x2+x+1<2
-3x2-3x-3<x2-λx-2<2x2+2x+2 since x2+x+1>0, xR
4x2+x3-λ+1>0,x2+x2+λ+4>0
i 4x2-xλ-3+1>0
D<0λ-32-4×4×1<0
λ-3+4λ-3-4<0
λ+1λ-7<0λ-1,7
ii x2+xλ+2+4>0
D<0λ+22-4×4<0
λ+2-4λ+2+4<0λ-2λ+6<0λ-6,2
Taking the intersection of the solutions of (i) and (ii), we get, 

 λ-1,2
