Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{4}$


Solution : $2x-y=2$
⇒ $x-\frac{y}{2}=1$ [Dividing both sides by 2]
Also, $xy=\frac{3}{2}$
So, $x^3-\frac{y^3}{8}$
= $(x-\frac{y}{2})^3+3(x)(\frac{y}{2})(x-\frac{y}{2})$
= $(1)^3+\frac{3}{2}(\frac{3}{2})(1)$
= $1+\frac{9}{4}$
= $\frac{13}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{13}{4}$.
