The correct answer is: 36
Let $R=\{x: x \in N, x$ is a multiple of 3 and $x \leq 100\}$
and $S=\{x: x \in N, x$ is a multiple of 5 and $x \leq 100\}$ $R=\{3,6,9,12,15, \ldots, 99\}$
and $S=\{5,10,15, \ldots, 95,100\}$
Now, $(R \times S) \cap(S \times R)=(R \cap S) \times(S \cap R)$
$=(15,30,45,60,75,90) \times(15,30,45,60,75,90)$
Number of elements in $(R \times S) \cap(S \times R)$
$=6 \times 6=36$
