    Explanation:

    If he moves 4 km downstream in x hours.
    Downstream speed=4/x
    Upstream speed=3/x
    Then 60/(4/x) + 60/(3/x)=35
    60[(3x+4x)/12]=35
    60*7x/12=35
    5*7x=35==> x=1km.
    Then Downstream speed=4km/hr , Upstream speed=3km/hr
    U=(4+3)/2=7/2=3.5km/hr
    V=(4-3)/2=1/2=0.5km/hr
