  1. The vector field F = xî - yĵ (where î and ĵ are unit vector) is
    1. divergence free, but not irrotational
    2. irrotational, but not divergence free
    3. divergence free and irrotational
    4. neither divergence free nor irrotational
Correct Option: C

F = xi - yj
For divergence:-
grade F = ∇F

Hence vector field is divergence free
For is rotational,
Curl F = ∇ × F

Hence vector field is irrotational.
