The correct answer is: -2

Given equation of curve is

y=2x3-15x2+36x-8     ...1

 To find the turning points of the curve

y'=0

ddx2x3-15x2+36x-8=0

6x2-30x+36=0

x2-5x+6=0

x2-3x-2x+6=0

x-3x-2=0

 x=3 or x=2

Substitute x=3 in equation 1

y=233-1532+363-8=19

Substitute x=2 in equation 1

y=223-1522+362-8=20

 The turning points are 3,19 and 2,20

Here, 

α,β2,20 & y,δ3,19  α<y

α-y-β+δ=2-3-20+19=-2
