What country made up the bulk of the varangian guard during 9th-10th century. Were the rus people at that time scandinavian or slavic?
Combination of both.

First most of them were Scandinavians, but later on a lot of britbongistanis replaced them. Some Anglo-Saxon lords had varangian service in their cvs etc.
Check Blondals Varangian Guard book for more memes.
Is there any way to tell which scandinavian country had the largest part of the varangian guard?
