Correct Answer: 5 km/hr
Solution :
Given:
A boat goes at 35 km/hr downstream and at 25 km/hr upstream.
Let the speed of the boat be $x$ km/hr and the speed of the current be $y$ km/hr.
So, at downstream $x+y=35$ ---------(1)
At upstream $x-y=25$ --------------(2)
Solving both equations, we get $x=30, y=5$
Hence, the correct answer is 5 km/hr.
