Answer

$2 \pi a^2$

Work Step by Step

Applying Stoke's Theorem, we have $\oint F \cdot dr=\iint _S (\nabla \times F) \cdot n d\sigma$ Here, $F \cdot \dfrac{dr}{dt}=ay \sin t+ax \cos t=a^2 \sin^2 t+a^2 \cos^2 t=a^2$ Then, we have Flux of $(\nabla \times F)$=$\iint _S (\nabla \times F) \cdot n d\sigma=\int _{0}^{2\pi} a^2 dt$ This implies that $\int _{0}^{2\pi} a^2 dt=2 \pi a^2$
