The correct answer is:
$\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$
As the velocity makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with horizontal, so, the horizontal component of velocity at the instant will be $v \cos 30^{\circ}$.
$\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & v \cos 30^{\circ}=5 \\
\Rightarrow & v=\frac{5}{\cos 30^{\circ}}=\frac{5}{\sqrt{3} / 2}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}
\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & v \cos 30^{\circ}=5 \\
\Rightarrow & v=\frac{5}{\cos 30^{\circ}}=\frac{5}{\sqrt{3} / 2}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}
\end{array}$
