Answer

$div (F+G)=div F+div G$

Work Step by Step

Need to prove that $div (F+G)=div F+div G$ Let us consider that $F=A i+B j+C k$ $div F=\dfrac{\partial A}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial B}{\partial y}$ Suppose $F=ai+bj; G=ci+dj$ and $div (F+G)=\dfrac{\partial a}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial b}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial c}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial d}{\partial y}$ or, $div (F+G)=div F+div G$ Hence, $div (F+G)=div F+div G$
