As we have learnt,

\mathrm{K =A \exp \left(-\frac{E a}{R T}\right)} \\

\mathrm{\therefore K_{300} =A \exp \left(-\frac{E a}{300 R}\right) }\\

\mathrm{K_{310} =A \exp \left(\frac{-E a}{310 R}\right)}

\mathrm{\therefore \frac{K_{300}}{K_{310}} =\exp \left\{\frac{E a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{310}-\frac{1}{300}\right)\right\}} \\

              \mathrm{=\exp \left\{\frac{-532611}{8.3} \times \frac{10}{310 \times 300}\right\}}

              \mathrm{=\exp (-6.9)} \\

              \mathrm{=e^{-6.9}} \\

             \mathrm{=\left(e^{-2.3}\right)^{3}} \\

            \mathrm{=10^{-3}}

\mathrm{\therefore K_{300}=10^{-3} \times K_{310}}

\mathrm{\therefore x=1}

Hence answer is 1
