Answer

No, the claim is false.

Work Step by Step

From table A-4 at $T=35^{\circ}C$ $P_{sat}=5.629kPa$ $P_{air}=\phi P_{sat}=0.7*5.629kPa=3.9403kPa$ Interpolating from table A-4 at $P=3.9403kPa$ $T_{sat}=28.67^{\circ}C$ The vapor in the air will condense at this temperature, since there's no condensation, the temperature is higher. So the claim that the temperature is $10^{\circ}C$ is false.
