In queuing theory, the arrival rate is represented by \( \lambda \) (lambda), and the service rate is represented by \( \mu \) (mu).

Given the information:
- Arrivals occur every 10 minutes (\( \lambda = \frac{1}{10} \) per minute)
- 10 units can be received every hour (\( \mu = \frac{10}{60} \) per minute)

So, \( \lambda = \frac{1}{10} \) and \( \mu = \frac{10}{60} \).

Therefore, the correct option is \( \lambda = \frac{1}{10} \), \( \mu = \frac{10}{60} \), which corresponds to:
l = 10, m = 6
