If $\overline{a}$ is constant vector then $\nabla \times (\overline{a} \times \overline{r}) = _?$

Show Hint

For constant $\overline{a}$, the curl of $(\overline{a} \times \overline{r})$ is always $2\overline{a}$.

Let $ \hat{a} $ be a unit vector perpendicular to the vectors \[ \mathbf{b} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \quad \text{and} \quad \mathbf{c} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k}, \] $\text{and makes an angle of}$ $ \cos\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right) $ $\text{with the vector}$ $ \hat{i} + \alpha \hat{j} + \hat{k} $. $\text{If}$ $ \hat{a} $ $\text{makes an angle of}$ $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ $\text{with the vector}$ $ \hat{i} + \alpha \hat{j} + \hat{k} $, then the value of $ \alpha $ $\text{is:}$

Let $ R $ be the planar region bounded by the lines $ x = 0 $, $ y = 0 $ and the curve $ x^2 + y^2 = 4 $ in the first quadrant. Let $ C $ be the boundary of $ R $, oriented counter clockwise. Then, the value of:
\[ \oint_C x(1 - y) \, dx + (x^2 - y^2) \, dy \] is equal to:
