(C) The given conic is $\frac{x^2}{3} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 4$,which can be rewritten as $\frac{x^2}{12} + \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$.Here,$a^2 = 12$ and $b^2 = 16$. Since $b^2 > a^2$,the major axis is along the $y$-axis.The eccentricity of the ellipse is $e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{12}{16}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{16}} = \frac{1}{2}$.The foci of the ellipse are $(0, \pm be) = (0, \pm 4 	imes \frac{1}{2}) = (0, \pm 2)$.The hyperbola has its vertices at $(0, \pm 2)$,so its transverse axis is along the $y$-axis and $a = 2$.The equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1$,where $a = 2$.Given the eccentricity $e_h = \frac{3}{2}$,we use $b^2 = a^2(e_h^2 - 1) = 4(\frac{9}{4} - 1) = 4(\frac{5}{4}) = 5$.The equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{y^2}{4} - \frac{x^2}{5} = 1$.Checking the points:For $(0, 2)$: $\frac{4}{4} - 0 = 1$ (Lies on it).For $(\sqrt{5}, 2\sqrt{2})$: $\frac{8}{4} - \frac{5}{5} = 2 - 1 = 1$ (Lies on it).For $(\sqrt{10}, 2\sqrt{3})$: $\frac{12}{4} - \frac{10}{5} = 3 - 2 = 1$ (Lies on it).For $(5, 2\sqrt{3})$: $\frac{12}{4} - \frac{25}{5} = 3 - 5 = -2 
eq 1$ (Does not lie on it).

$A$ hyperbola has its transverse axis along the major axis of the conic $\frac{x^2}{3} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 4$ and its vertices at the foci of this conic. If the eccentricity of the hyperbola is $\frac{3}{2}$,then which of the following points does $NOT$ lie on it?
