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.

B
The woman whom I spoke to
C

Grammar (Participles)

He admired ___ the musical show at the party since it was not that appealing on television.

Correct answer: A

A
having seen
Correct
B
to see
C
being seen
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The verb 'admire' is typically followed by a noun or a gerund phrase to indicate what is being admired. In the sentence, 'He admired having seen the musical show...' the gerund phrase 'having seen' correctly functions as the object of 'admired.' Using the infinitive 'to see' or the passive form 'being seen' is not grammatically appropriate here. Therefore, option A is correct.

Correct answer: D

A

B

(1000)^0 equals 1 because any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is 1. 10^24 is a very large number (1 followed by 24 zeros). Adding 1 to 10^24 does not match any of the given numeric options, so the correct choice is 'None of these'.
