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.

Percentages
In a market survey, 20% opted for product A, whereas 60% opted for product B. The remaining individuals were uncertain. If the difference between those who opted for product B and those who were uncertain is 720, how many individuals were covered in the survey?
Correct answer: C
The question states that 20% opted for product A, 60% opted for product B, and the remaining individuals were uncertain. Since the total percentage must be 100%, the uncertain group is 100% - 20% - 60% = 20%. The difference between those who opted for product B and those who were uncertain is given as 720 individuals. This difference corresponds to 60% - 20% = 40% of the total individuals. Therefore, 40% of the total individuals equals 720, so the total number of individuals surveyed is 720 / 0.4 = 1800. Among the options given, 1800 corresponds to option C. Hence, the correct answer is C.
