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.

Zakat and Ushr

Pakistan StudiesFIA

Zakat and Ushr were started under which constitution of Pakistan?

Correct answer: D

A
1973
B
1956
C
1962
D
None of these
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

Zakat and Ushr were not started under any of the constitutions of Pakistan (1956, 1962, or 1973). Instead, they were formally institutionalized through the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance of 1980. The 1973 Constitution of Pakistan includes Islamic provisions but does not specifically start Zakat and Ushr as constitutional provisions. Later, the 18th Amendment in 2010 devolved the Ministry of Zakat and Ushr to the provinces, allowing provincial legislation and administration. Therefore, none of the listed constitutions started Zakat and Ushr as constitutional provisions, making 'None of these' the correct answer.

What is the minimum number of goats (nisab) on which Zakat becomes obligatory?

Correct answer: B

A
20 Goats
B
40 Goats
Correct
C
60 Goats
D

Explanation and memory cue

According to Islamic jurisprudence, the nisab (minimum threshold) for zakat on goats (and sheep) is 40 animals. There is no zakat due if one owns fewer than 40 goats. Once the number reaches 40, zakat becomes obligatory, and the owner must give 1 goat as zakat for 40 to 120 goats owned. The zakat amount increases with the number of goats owned, but the minimum number for zakat obligation (nisab) is 40 goats.
