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a question in the original paper had a disputed or missing answer, it was corrected from a reference source or left unpublished rather than shown with a guess.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.

Explanation and memory cue

NASA's Perseverance rover, which is about the size of a car, landed on Mars in February 2021. It collected its first-ever Martian rock sample on August 6, 2021, not in September 2020. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Perseverance,' but the date in the original question was incorrect and has been corrected in the explanation.

How much loan did the IMF promise to give Pakistan in 2019?

Correct answer: A

6 billion

Correct

5 billion

33.2 billion

None of these

Explanation and memory cue

In 2019, the IMF approved a loan package for Pakistan under an Extended Fund Facility worth approximately SDR 4.268 billion, which was roughly equivalent to 6 billion USD. This loan was to be disbursed over a 39-month period, with the first installment around 1 billion USD. The figure of 33.2 billion USD mentioned in the original question refers to a broader multi-year financial support context but not the specific 2019 IMF loan amount. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 billion USD (option A).

Correct answer: A

To be one's guest

Correct

To cool tasty dishes

An infectious disease

None of these

Explanation and memory cue

The phrase 'ready to eat anyone's salt' means being ready to accept hospitality or be a guest, but the correct idiomatic meaning is 'to be someone's guest,' not 'to be one's guest' as option A states. Since none of the options correctly capture the meaning, 'None of these' is the best choice.
