Assistant Director Investigation is an officer-grade post advertised separately from the general Assistant Director cadre, and its written test was held on 24 July 2022 in two batches. This page holds 180 published questions from those two papers. The distinguishing feature of this test is that a substantial share of it is about the agency itself: 27 questions on the FIA Act and another eleven on Pakistan and FIA knowledge, covering the agency's history, structure, wings and legal powers.
The remainder is General Knowledge (the largest subject, at 60 questions), English Language at the graduate level, Mathematics and a General Science block. There is no separate Islamic Studies or Pakistan Studies section in these papers, which sets them apart from every other FIA post here. Four model papers from the 2019 cycle are in preparation and will be added once reviewed. If you are applying for this post, the FIA Act questions are the highest-value practice on the site, because they are tested nowhere else at this density.

Inequalities
What is the solution interval of the inequality 6x - 2 ≥ 3x + 10?
Correct answer: C
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
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.
