Question

[a] $\left( \sqrt{5},2\sqrt{2} \right)$
[b] (0,2)
[c] $\left( 5,2\sqrt{3} \right)$
[d] $\left( 10,2\sqrt{3} \right)$

Answer 1

Hint:The transverse axis of a hyperbola is the axis of the hyperbola that passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If $\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1$ is the equation of an ellipse, then the major axis is x-axis if a>b and the major axis is y-axis if ${a}<{b}$. Use this fact to find the major axis of the hyperbola. Use the fact that if e is the eccentricity of the ellipse, then the coordinates of foci are (0, be) and (0,-be) and ${{a}^{2}}={{b}^{2}}\left( 1-{{e}^{2}} \right)$.
Also, the vertices of the hyperbola $\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=-1$ are (0,b) and (0,-b) and the eccentricity satisfies ${{a}^{2}}={{b}^{2}}\left( {{e}^{2}}-1 \right)$

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know Equation of ellipse
$\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}+\dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}=4$
We need to write the equation in $\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1$ form. Hence we divide the both sides of the equation by 4. Hence, we have
$\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{12}+\dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{16}=1$
Here $a=\sqrt{12}$ and $b=\sqrt{16}=4$
Hence aHence the major axis is the y-axis.
Hence the transverse axis of the hyperbola is the y-axis[As according to the question the transverse axis coincides with the major axis of the ellipse]
We know that eccentricity e of the ellipse is given by ${{a}^{2}}={{b}^{2}}\left( 1-{{e}^{2}} \right)$
Hence, we have
$\begin{aligned} & 12=16\left( 1-{{e}^{2}} \right) \\\ & \Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}=1-{{e}^{2}} \\\ & \Rightarrow e=\dfrac{1}{2} \\\ \end{aligned}$
Hence the foci of the ellipse are $\left( 0,4\times \dfrac{1}{2} \right)=\left( 0,2 \right)$ and $\left( 0,-4\times \dfrac{1}{2} \right)=\left( 0,-2 \right)${Because coordinates of the foci are given by (0,be) and (0,-be)}
Let the equation of hyperbola be $\dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}-\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}=1$
We know that the coordinates of vertices are given by (0,b) and (0,-b)
Hence, we have $\left( 0,b \right)=\left( 0,2 \right)${As the vertices of the hyperbola coincide with the foci of the ellipse}.
Comparing y coordinates, we get
$b=2$.
Also, the eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by ${{a}^{2}}={{b}^{2}}\left( {{e}^{2}}-1 \right)\Rightarrow a=b\sqrt{{{e}^{2}}-1}$
Since $e=\sqrt{5}$ (given) and $b=2$, we have
Hence $a=b\sqrt{{{e}^{2}}-1}=2\sqrt{{{\left( \dfrac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}}-1}=\sqrt{5}$
Hence the equation of the hyperbola is $\dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{2}^{2}}}-\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{\left( \sqrt{5} \right)}^{2}}}=1\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}-\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{5}=1$

Clearly $\left( 5,2\sqrt{3} \right)$ does not satisfy the equation of the hyperbola as $\dfrac{{{\left( 2\sqrt{3} \right)}^{2}}}{4}-\dfrac{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}}{5}=3-5=-2\ne 1$.
Hence $\left( 5,2\sqrt{3} \right)$ does not lie on the hyperbola.
Hence option [c] is correct.

Note: A point lies on a curve if and only if it satisfies the equation of that curve, This is why we found the equation of hyperbola first and then checked whether these points satisfy the equation of the hyperbola.
Graphically this can be seen as
