- The car travels 300 km at a uniform speed.

- The time taken for the journey is one-third of the speed.

- If the speed is \(x\) km/h, the time is \(\frac{x}{3}\) hours.

- Using the formula: \(\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}\), we have 300 km = \(x \times \frac{x}{3}\).

- Solving, we get \(x^2 = 900\), hence \(x = 30\) km/h.

- Therefore, time taken = \(\frac{30}{3} = 10\) hours.

- Option 1: 10 hours – Correct.

- Option 2: 8 hours – Incorrect.

- Option 3: 9 hours – Incorrect.

- Option 4: 12 hours – Incorrect.
