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.

Number Sequences
What is the next number in the sequence: 4, 13, 28, 59, ?
Correct answer: D
The sequence is 4, 13, 28, 59, ?. The differences between terms are 9, 15, and 31. Observing the pattern, these differences are close to one less than powers of 2: 9 ~ 8+1, 15 = 16-1, 31 = 32-1. The next difference fits the pattern 63 = 64-1 (2^6 - 1). Adding 63 to 59 gives 122. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 122, which corresponds to option D.

Exponents
What is the value of x^0 - 100?
Correct answer: D
According to the zero exponent rule, any nonzero number raised to the power of zero equals 1. Therefore, x^0 = 1 for any x ≠ 0. The expression x^0 - 100 equals 1 - 100 = -99. Since -99 is not among the given options, the question as stated is flawed. However, if the question intended to ask for the value of x^0 alone, the answer would be 1, which is also not listed. The correct answer cannot be D (200) as marked. Given the options, none are correct for the expression x^0 - 100. The subject should be Mathematics, not Pakistan Studies. The question and options need correction for mathematical accuracy.
