Let $\displaystyle F=(y^2+z^2)i+(z^2+x^2)j+(x^2+y^2)k$. Then the value of $\iint_{dv} F.nds$ is equal to A) 0 B) 1 C)-1 D) $\displaystyle \pi$ I see that $div F$ is $0$ using Gaussian Divergence method. So how can I proceed further ? Is the answer is option A ? Please help! Thank you

Do you mean that surface integral, not a line integral? If so, on the cylindrical part of the surface, use parameters $\theta$ and z so that $x= \sqrt{0.5}cos(\theta)$, $y= \sqrt{0.5}sin(\theta)$ with $\theta$ going from 0 to $2\pi$ and z from $-\sqrt{0.5}$ to $\sqrt{0.5}$. On the spherical "caps" use spherical coordinates, with $\rho= 1$, as parameters. $x= cos(\theta)sin(\phi)$, $y= sin(\theta)sin(\phi)$, $z= cos(\phi)$ with $\theta$ going from 0 to $2\pi$ and $\phi$ going from 0 to $cos^{-1}(\sqrt{0.5})$.
