Which FIA posts have past papers here?

Nine at present: Inspector, Assistant Director, Sub Inspector, Assistant Director Investigation, UDC, Assistant, LDC, ASI and Assistant Director Legal and Investigation. Each post page lists its papers by year and batch. Constable papers are in preparation and will appear once they have been reviewed.

Which subjects do FIA tests cover?

It varies by post, but Pakistan Studies, Islamic Studies, English and General Knowledge appear in nearly every paper. Inspector papers add substantial Mathematics and Everyday Science. Clerical papers add MS Office and computing. Assistant Director papers include Current Affairs and, in some years, questions on the FIA Act.

How were the past papers collected and checked?

Papers were transcribed question by question, tagged with the post, year and batch, and each question was reviewed by a validator before being published. Where a question in the original paper had a disputed or missing answer, it was corrected from a reference source or left unpublished rather than shown with a guess.

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.

Modals

EnglishFIA

------------ my brother come, give him this message.

Correct answer: C

Would

Ought

Should

Correct

Will

Explanation and memory cue

The correct modal verb to complete the sentence is 'Should' because it is used to indicate a conditional or probable event in the future. The sentence 'Should my brother come, give him this message' is a formal way of saying 'If my brother comes, give him this message.' 'Will' is not appropriate here as it does not convey the conditional meaning implied by the sentence structure.

MathematicsFIA

If two planes leave the same airport at 1:00 PM, how many miles apart will they be at 3:00 PM if one travels directly north at 150 mph and the other travels directly west at 200 mph?

Correct answer: C

50 miles

100 miles

500 miles

Correct

700 miles

Explanation and memory cue

After 2 hours, the first plane travels 150 mph × 2 = 300 miles north, and the second plane travels 200 mph × 2 = 400 miles west. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance apart is √(300² + 400²) = √(90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500 miles.
