All Exam Questions2,680 questionsPage 69/268

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.

Sea water salinity

easy2019FIA Assistant Director Paper 2019 Batch 1
ScienceFIA

The salinity of seawater is determined by the amount of common salt (sodium chloride) in 1 kilogram of seawater. Approximately how much common salt does 1 kilogram of seawater contain?

Correct answer: D

A
1 gram
B
10 gram
C
1 kg
D
None of these
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The salinity of seawater is commonly expressed as the amount of dissolved salts in grams per kilogram of seawater. On average, seawater contains about 35 grams of dissolved salts per kilogram, not 1 gram. Sodium chloride (common salt) makes up about 85% of these dissolved salts, so roughly 30 grams of sodium chloride are present per kilogram of seawater. Therefore, the correct amount of common salt in 1 kilogram of seawater is approximately 30 grams, which is not among the options A (1 gram), B (10 grams), or C (1 kg). Hence, the correct answer is D (None of these).

These planets have been known since ancient times and can be seen as steady points of light that do not twinkle. Uranus is barely visible to the naked eye under very dark skies and excellent eyesight, but it is generally considered not visible without optical aid. Neptune and Pluto are too faint to be seen without a telescope. Therefore, the correct answer is 5, which corresponds to option D.
