The Federal Investigation Agency recruits across a wide range of grades, from Constable and clerical staff to Inspector and Assistant Director, and each grade has its own written test. This hub brings together more than 3,200 published questions transcribed from FIA past papers spanning 2002 to 2022, organised by post and then by paper. Inspector, Assistant Director and Sub Inspector are the most heavily represented posts; UDC, LDC, Assistant, ASI and the Assistant Director Investigation and Legal posts have fewer papers but are all live.
Across posts, the recurring subjects are Pakistan Studies, Islamic Studies, English, General Knowledge, Mathematics and Everyday Science, with computing questions weighted towards the clerical and Cyber Crime Wing tests. The recruitment tests have been conducted by different testing agencies in different years, and where the paper metadata records that, it appears in the paper name. Start with the post you are applying for and attempt its most recent paper first; the older papers show how the pattern has shifted over time.

In an election involving two candidates, 68 votes were declared invalid. The winning candidate scores 52% of the valid votes and wins by 98 votes. What is the total number of votes polled?
Correct answer: C
Let the total number of votes polled be x. Valid votes = x - 68. The winner gets 52% of valid votes, and the loser gets 48%. The difference is 4% of valid votes, which equals 98 votes. So, 0.04(x - 68) = 98, solving gives x = 2382.

Pakistan History
H.S. Soharwardy lost support at home because his government did not extend support in 1956 to:
Correct answer: C
In 1956, during the Suez Crisis, the issue of Palestine was central to regional tensions. The United Kingdom and other Western governments, including the United States, maintained support for Israel's security and did not extend direct governmental support to the Palestinian Arab cause. Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan proposed plans for an independent Palestinian republic in the Gaza Strip to rally refugee support, but these were viewed skeptically by Western powers. H.S. Soharwardy, as a Pakistani leader, lost support domestically because his government did not extend support to Palestine in 1956, a critical issue for many in Pakistan at the time. This aligns with the historical context where Palestine was a key concern and lack of support for it caused political backlash.
