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.

Ratio, Proportion and Partnership

The monthly incomes of Peter and Pau are in the ratio 4:3, and their expenses are in the ratio 3:2. If each saves Rs. 600 at the end of the month, what are their monthly incomes in Rupees?

Correct answer: C

A
2300 and 1700
B
2400 and 3400
C
2400 and 1800
Correct
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Let Peter's income be 4x and Pau's income be 3x. Their expenses are in ratio 3:2, say 3y and 2y. Since both save Rs. 600, we have 4x - 3y = 600 and 3x - 2y = 600. Solving these equations gives x = 600 and y = 800, so incomes are 2400 and 1800 respectively.

MathematicsFIA

The length and the breadth of a square are increased by 40% and 30% respectively. By what percentage does the area of the resulting rectangle exceed the area of the original square?

Correct answer: B

A
83%
B
82%
Correct
C
85%
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The original square has side length s, so its area is s². When the length is increased by 40%, the new length becomes 1.4s. When the breadth is increased by 30%, the new breadth becomes 1.3s. The area of the resulting rectangle is therefore 1.4s × 1.3s = 1.82s². This means the new area is 1.82 times the original area, which corresponds to an 82% increase in area. Hence, the correct answer is 82%, which is option B.

The large intestine mainly absorbs water and electrolytes, while the liver processes nutrients but does not absorb them from food.
