Questions involving overlapping sets can usually be solved visually, with an axis.
This is an Alternative approach.
Drawing our axis (see below), we can easily SEE the separation between our 4 sets - boys who like tea, boys who don't like tea, girls who like tea and girls who don't like tea. Moreover, we can SEE that boys = 45% means girls = 55% and that girls who don't like tea = 25% means that girls who like tea = 55% - 25% = 30%.
(1) This means that an equal number of boys and girls drink tea. From what we wrote above that means that 30% of students are boys who drink tea so our percent is 30/45.
Sufficient.
(2) Since 25% of girls don't like tea, 15% of boys don't like tea and 45% - 15% = 30% of boys do like tea.
Sufficient.
(D) is our answerr

This is another method:- In the attachment refer to 1st table. I have used the given value and calculated whatever we can.
From Statement 1 :- Boys who like tea and Girls who like tea are equal. It implies both are 30%. Refer table 2.
From Statement 2 : - Boys who do not like tea (Bnt) and Girls who do not like tea (Gnt) is in the ratio of 3:5. Refer table 3.
Bnt/ Gnt = 3/5 ==> Bnt/25 = 3/5 ==> Bnt = 15.
Boys who don't like tea = 15%.
Total Boys % = 45
Hence Boys who like tea can be found = 45-15=30%.
Hope it helps.
