If the vector function →F=^ax(3y−k1z)+^ay(k2x−2z)−^az(k3y+z) is irrotational, then the values of the constants k1,k2 and k3, respectively, are

Solution
The correct option is B0.0,3.0,2.1 For irrotational vector: →F,curl×→F=→0 ∣∣
∣
∣
∣∣^i^j^k∂∂x∂∂y∂∂z(3y−k1z)(k2x−2z)−(k3y+z)∣∣
∣
∣
∣∣=0 ^i[−k3+2]−^j[0+k1]+^k[k2−3]=0
So, k3=2,k1=0,k2=3 ⎡⎢⎣k1k2k3⎤⎥⎦=⎡⎢⎣032⎤⎥⎦
