All Exam Questions2,680 questionsPage 131/268

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.

What is the solution interval of the inequality 6x - 2 ≥ 3x + 10?

Correct answer: C

A
(-∞, 4)
B
(-∞, -4)
C
[4, ∞)
Correct
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

To solve the inequality 6x - 2 ≥ 3x + 10, subtract 3x from both sides to get 3x - 2 ≥ 10. Then add 2 to both sides: 3x ≥ 12. Dividing both sides by 3 (a positive number) gives x ≥ 4. Therefore, the solution interval is [4, ∞), which corresponds to option C.

The tank-full petrol in Haroon's motorcycle lasts for 10 days. If he starts using 25% more every day, how many days will the tank-full petrol last?

Correct answer: C

A
6 days
B
7 days
C
8 days
Correct
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

If Haroon uses 25% more petrol each day, the daily consumption increases by a factor of 1.25. The total petrol amount remains the same, so the new duration is 10 ÷ 1.25 = 8 days. However, this calculation is incorrect; let's re-examine: If the original daily usage is x, total petrol = 10x. New daily usage = 1.25x. Days = total petrol ÷ new daily usage = 10x ÷ 1.25x = 8 days. So the correct answer is 8 days, which corresponds to option C, not B. Correcting answer to C.
