A tuned circuit comprises of 600µH inductor connected in series with a 100 pF capacitor and a resistor of 10Ω. Determine the resonant frequency of the tuned circuit, its Q-factor and bandwidth

You can find the solution to this problem in any textbook on oscillations in electrical circuits. You could try searching the Internet too, but be aware that it would mostly be garbage not worthy your time. Use the Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's rules to write a linear differential equation, solve it and there you will have all three answers right away.

Thanks for your help I do have a text book but I don't understand it I've not done any electronics before would you be able to write the formula so I could solve it thanks

There is no formula here. This is in no way electronics; this is just basic electric circuits. Give me your definitions of resonant frequency, Q-factor and bandwidth, then I can write the equation for you.
