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.

Percentages
49 is 1/3% of what number?
Correct answer: D
1/3% means one-third of one percent, which is 1/3 ÷ 100 = 1/300. So, 49 is 1/300 of the number. Therefore, the number = 49 × 300 = 14,700. The original options do not include 14,700, which is the correct answer. Since none of the given options are correct, the question or options are flawed. The closest option given is 2700, but it is not the correct answer mathematically. The correct answer should be 14,700, not 2700. The subject should be changed to Mathematics as it deals with percentage calculations.
