All Exam Questions2,680 questionsPage 135/268

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.

Criminal Procedure

medium2022FIA Assistant Director Investigation Paper 24-07-2022 Batch 1
FIA ActFIA

When property under investigation is apprehended to be transferred, an order to restrain its transfer may be made by:

Correct answer: B

A
Federal Government
B
Member of the Agency
Correct
C
Ministry of Interior
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

According to the Federal Investigation Agency Act, 1974 (FIA Act), specifically section 5(5), if a member of the FIA conducting an investigation apprehends that any property which is the subject matter of the investigation is likely to be removed, transferred or otherwise disposed of before an order of the appropriate authority for its seizure is obtained, such member may issue a written order restraining the owner or any person in possession of the property from removing, transferring or disposing of it except with the prior permission of that member. This order is subject to any order made by the court having jurisdiction in the matter. Therefore, the authority to issue an order to restrain the transfer of property under investigation is a member of the Agency (FIA), not the Federal Government directly or the Ministry of Interior. The Federal Government constitutes the FIA and has superintendence over it, but the power to issue such restraining orders is delegated to members of the Agency conducting the investigation. Hence, the correct answer is B: Member of the Agency.

Set Theory

medium2022FIA Assistant Director Investigation Paper 24-07-2022 Batch 1
MathematicsFIA

In a town, 45% of the population read magazine A, 55% read magazine B, 40% read magazine C, 30% read magazines A and B, 15% read magazines B and C, 25% read magazines A and C, and 10% read all three magazines. What percentage does not read any magazine?

Correct answer: C

A
15
B
10
C
20
Correct
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the percentage reading at least one magazine is 45% + 55% + 40% - 30% - 15% - 25% + 10% = 80%. Therefore, the percentage not reading any magazine is 100% - 80% = 20%. However, since 20% is option C, the correct answer is C, not A. Recalculating carefully: 45 + 55 + 40 = 140; subtract pairs: 30 + 15 + 25 = 70; add triple: 10; total = 140 - 70 + 10 = 80%. So 20% do not read any magazine, which matches option C.
