    v = 2xy i – y²j

    u =
    δx
    , v = -
    δx
    δyδx

    2xy =
    δx
    = 2
    δy

    2xyδy = δψ
    on integrating
    ψ = xy² + f(x)
    = y1 + f'(x)
    f'(x) = 0
    ⇒ f(x)= constant
    so ψ= xy² + constant

    Correct Option: B

    Here V(x, y) = u(x, y) i + v(x, y) j

    As we know that u =
    -δφ
    δx

    -δφ
    = -v(x,y) ....(i)
    δx

    Similarly v =
    -δφ
    δy

    -δφ
    = -v(x,y) ....(ii)
    δy

    From equations (i) and (ii) we get,
