Solution:-Doing cross product is not a big task,,it is as like Simple multiplication,,,u have to just remember the following concept
,i×i=0, j×j=0,k×k=0,i×j=k, j×k=i, k×i=j
j×i=-k,k×j=-i i×k=-j
Now,
a×b=4i(9j-15k)-6j(-6i-15k)+10k(-6i+9j)
=(4i×9j)-(4i×15k)+(6i×6j)+(6j×15k)-(10k×6i)+(10k×9j)
=36(i×j)-(60)(i×k)+(36)(i×j)+(90)(j×k)-(60)(k×i)+(90)(k×j)
=-36k -60(-j) +36(k)+90(i) -60(j) +90(-i)
=-36k+60j+36k+90i-60j-90i
=(-36+36)k +(60-60)j +(90-90)i
=0i+0j+0k
