Hint:The transverse axis of a hyperbola is the axis of the hyperbola that passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If x2a2+y2b2=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 a2=b2(1e2).
Also, the vertices of the hyperbola x2a2y2b2=1 are (0,b) and (0,-b) and the eccentricity satisfies a2=b2(e21)

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know Equation of ellipse
x23+y24=4
We need to write the equation in x2a2+y2b2=1 form. Hence we divide the both sides of the equation by 4. Hence, we have
x212+y216=1
Here a=12 and b=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 a2=b2(1e2)
Hence, we have
12=16(1e2)34=1e2e=12
Hence the foci of the ellipse are (0,4×12)=(0,2) and (0,4×12)=(0,2){Because coordinates of the foci are given by (0,be) and (0,-be)}
Let the equation of hyperbola be y2b2x2a2=1
We know that the coordinates of vertices are given by (0,b) and (0,-b)
Hence, we have (0,b)=(0,2){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 a2=b2(e21)a=be21
Since e=5 (given) and b=2, we have
Hence a=be21=2(32)21=5
Hence the equation of the hyperbola is y222x2(5)2=1y24x25=1

Clearly (5,23) does not satisfy the equation of the hyperbola as (23)24(5)25=35=21.
Hence (5,23) 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
