IBPS Clerk Mains 29 Nov 2025 Paper

Concept:Use coordinate positions to determine the exact direction between two points.Explanation:Let east be $+x$ and north be $+y$.Take $A=(0,0)$.From Statement I:$D$ is 4 km north of $A$, so $D=(0,4)$.$B$ is 5 km southeast of $D$, and triangle $ADB$ is right angled at $A$.Thus $AB=3$ km east, so $B=(3,0)$.$C$ is 5 km south of $B$, so $C=(3,-5)$.From $C(3,-5)$ to $A(0,0)$, the shift is 3 km west and 5 km north.So $A$ is northwest of $C$.Statement I alone is sufficient.From Statement II:Let $D=(0,0)$.$E$ is 3 km west of $D$, so $E=(-3,0)$.$A$ is 6 km north of $E$, so $A=(-3,6)$.$B$ is 4 km south of $D$, so $B=(0,-4)$.$B$ is 5 km south of $C$, so $C$ is 5 km north of $B$, giving $C=(0,1)$.From $C(0,1)$ to $A(-3,6)$, the shift is 3 km west and 5 km north.So $A$ is northwest of $C$.Statement II alone is also sufficient.Answer:Data given in either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.Hence, the correct option is B.
