Correct answer: B

  1. Write the ellipse in standard form

Given ellipse: 3x2+4y2=123x^2+4y^2=123x2+4y2=12 Divide by 121212: x24+y23=1\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=14x2​+3y2​=1 So, a2=4,b2=3a^2=4,\quad b^2=3a2=4,b2=3 Since a2>b2a^2>b^2a2>b2, the major axis is along the xxx-axis.

Its foci are at: c2=a2−b2=4−3=1  ⟹  c=1c^2=a^2-b^2=4-3=1 \implies c=1c2=a2−b2=4−3=1⟹c=1 Hence the foci are: (±1,0)(\pm 1,0)(±1,0)


  1. Form the hyperbola with same foci

The hyperbola has the same foci (±1,0)(\pm 1,0)(±1,0), so it must be of the form: x2A2−y2B2=1\frac{x^2}{A^2}-\frac{y^2}{B^2}=1A2x2​−B2y2​=1 with c2=A2+B2=1c^2=A^2+B^2=1c2=A2+B2=1

Given transverse axis length =2=\sqrt 2=2​. For hyperbola, transverse axis length =2A=2A=2A. So, 2A=2  ⟹  A=122A=\sqrt 2 \implies A=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}2A=2​⟹A=2​1​ Therefore, A2=12A^2=\frac12A2=21​ Now, c2=A2+B2c^2=A^2+B^2c2=A2+B2 1=12+B21=\frac12+B^21=21​+B2 B2=12B^2=\frac12B2=21​

Thus the hyperbola is: x21/2−y21/2=1\frac{x^2}{1/2}-\frac{y^2}{1/2}=11/2x2​−1/2y2​=1 which simplifies to 2x2−2y2=12x^2-2y^2=12x2−2y2=1 or x2−y2=12x^2-y^2=\frac12x2−y2=21​


  1. Check each option

We test whether each point satisfies x2−y2=12x^2-y^2=\frac12x2−y2=21​

Option A: (1,−12)\left(1,-\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right)(1,−2​1​)

x2−y2=1−12=12x^2-y^2=1-\frac12=\frac12x2−y2=1−21​=21​ So A lies on the hyperbola.

Option B: (32,12)\left(\sqrt{\frac32},\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right)(23​​,2​1​)

x2−y2=32−12=1x^2-y^2=\frac32-\frac12=1x2−y2=23​−21​=1 Since 1≠121\ne \frac121=21​, this point does not lie on the hyperbola.

Option C: (−32,1)\left(-\sqrt{\frac32},1\right)(−23​​,1)

x2−y2=32−1=12x^2-y^2=\frac32-1=\frac12x2−y2=23​−1=21​ So C lies on the hyperbola.

Option D: (12,0)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt2},0\right)(2​1​,0)

x2−y2=12−0=12x^2-y^2=\frac12-0=\frac12x2−y2=21​−0=21​ So D lies on the hyperbola.


  1. Conclusion

The hyperbola does not pass through: (32,12)\boxed{\left(\sqrt{\frac32},\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right)}(23​​,2​1​)​ So the correct option is B.
