48.

Let number of boys who participated= 4x

Let number of girls who participated =3x

no of candidates who passed the examination= 80% of 7x= (28x/5)
no of girls who passed the examination= 90% of 3x= (27x/10)

So,  no of boys who passed the examination= (28x/5)- (27x/10)= (29x/10)

As %= (29/40)*100= 72.5%

Instead play with the ratio itself. 

(4/7)*x + (3/7)*90 = 80

Gives x= 72.5%

Will save time!

Why does clock hand at 4 imply 3 sectors? My answer was 27 seconds because I assumed 4 sectors. Can someone explain why 3?

@ishitatri The question is wrongly framed. I think it's clock strikes 4 times in 9 seconds. That would give you 3 intervals. By that logic, answer of 33 seconds would seem correct.

You have brought up a very valid question. One of the many reasons why candidates get stuck here is because they fail to understand the distinction between 'summary' and 'inference'.

The inference is a deduction based on the evidence given in the passage. What is already given in the passage would not qualify as a deduction from the passage! 

This is why 'Reading Comprehension (RC)' is considered one of the toughest sections in the CAT exam. A lot of RC questions in CAT are not based directly on the facts stated in the passage but require you to make some inferences. These inferences are logical conclusions from the facts of the passage, but not the facts therein.

So, if the inference is asked, you need to eliminate the option that has been picked up from the passage first.Then, you should go on to choose the option that appears logically consistent.

Can you pls elaborate on the other keywords which can be asked in place of inference and how they can be solved. Just a brief idea.
