Let a^\hat{a} and b^\hat{b} be two unit vectors such that a^⋅b^=13\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b} = \frac{1}{3} and a^×b^=c^\hat{a} \times \hat{b} = \hat{c}. Also F⃗=αa^+βb^+γc^\vec{F} = \alpha \hat{a} + \beta \hat{b} + \gamma \hat{c}, where α,β,γ\alpha, \beta, \gamma are scalars. If α=k1(F⃗⋅a^)−k2(F⃗⋅b^)\alpha = k_1(\vec{F} \cdot \hat{a}) - k_2(\vec{F} \cdot \hat{b}), then the value of 2(k1+k2)2(k_1 + k_2) is a. 232\sqrt{3} b. 3\sqrt{3} c. 3 d. 1
