will a shimano road 10 speed chain work with 3x10 xtr 10 speed ?

If it's the latest generation XTR then I believe not but it used to work fine with the previous version of XTR.

Yes it will.
They are different - the outer plates are differently profiled to optimise shifting, but they are cross compatible (IMO with no discernible difference). I'm using an Ultegra on my MTB.

njee - are you using 3x10 M985 trail chainste and XTR 10 speed cassette ?

Don't forget that shimano road chains used to be directional. Latest ones are bi-directional. Double check before fitting.
