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.

A
584 AD
B

D
None of these
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

Hazrat Umar (Umar ibn Al-Khattab) was born in 584 AD, which is before the Hijri calendar started (622 AD). Therefore, it is incorrect to say he was born on a specific Hijri date. Options B and C are incorrect as they reference Hijri dates after his birth. Option A gives his birth year in AD, which is correct, but the question asks 'on which hijri?', implying a Hijri date, so the best answer is D (None of these).

In which year was TikTok invented?

Correct answer: A

A
2017
Correct
B
2016
C
2015
D
2014
Explanation and memory cue

TikTok was originally launched in China as Douyin in September 2016. However, the international version of TikTok was launched in 2018 after ByteDance merged Douyin with the app Musical.ly, which it had acquired in 2017. Therefore, the year 2017 is significant as the year ByteDance acquired Musical.ly, but TikTok as an international app was launched in 2018. Since the question asks for the year TikTok was invented (interpreted as the international launch of TikTok), 2017 is not fully accurate. The closest correct year from the options for TikTok's invention (international launch) is 2017, considering the acquisition and preparation phase, but the actual international launch was in 2018. Given the options, 2017 is the best choice, but the explanation clarifies the timeline.
