FIA Sub Inspector Past Papers

Post Past Papers520 questionsPage 6/52

Sub Inspector is the entry point for many investigative careers in the agency. This page collects 520 published questions from eight papers: four papers from the 2018 recruitment, including two group papers that carry the OTS label, the 2020 Cyber Crime Wing paper, and three short papers held on 13, 15 and 21 December 2021. The 2021 papers are partial transcriptions of twenty to forty questions each.

For the general Sub Inspector papers, Islamic Studies, English and Pakistan Studies are the three largest subjects, each with over a hundred questions across the set, followed by Geography, Everyday Science and General Knowledge. The Cyber Crime Wing paper is a different animal: almost entirely Computer Science and Computer Networks, with questions on hardware, operating systems, topologies and security. Candidates should check which wing they are applying to before choosing a paper to practise, since the two syllabi barely overlap.

D
None of these

Explanation and memory cue

The GDP growth rate of Pakistan during the fiscal year 2020-21 was officially revised to approximately 5.57%, which is higher than all the options A (3.94), B (4.00), and C (4.3) provided in the question. This figure reflects a robust recovery after the recession in 2019-20 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and IMF program conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of these' (option D). The original answer of 3.94% is outdated and was a provisional estimate before revisions by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.

Correct answer: D

A
74.23 grams of gold
B
92.62 grams of gold
C
87.48 grams of gold
D
None of these
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The nisab (minimum amount) of gold on which zakat is due is universally accepted as 85 grams of pure (24 karat) gold. This is based on the traditional measure of 20 mithqaal, where 1 mithqaal equals approximately 4.25 grams, totaling 85 grams. None of the given options exactly match this standard nisab. Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of these' since the closest options (74.23, 92.62, and 87.48 grams) do not correspond to the established nisab of 85 grams.
