Section 8 of the FIA Act 1974 pertains to the power of the Federal Investigation Agency to make regulations, not indemnity. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Regulations'.

Under the FIA Act and related laws, rewards are typically given to both members (officers or agents) and the public who assist in investigations or provide valuable information. Therefore, 'Members and the public' is the correct answer.

According to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Act of 1974 and related rules, the legal functions such as prosecution and legal advisory roles within the FIA are typically fulfilled by the Public Prosecutor. The FIA is headed by a Director General who has police powers, but the legal matters are handled by the Public Prosecutor. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Public Prosecutor.

The Superintendent of the agency (FIA) is vested in the Director General (DG) of the FIA, who is the head of the agency responsible for its operations. The Federal Government appoints the DG but the superintendent role specifically refers to the DG FIA.

The Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental (MAO) School, which later became Aligarh Muslim University, was founded in 1875. It started as a primary school on 24 May 1875 and was raised to college level in 1877. The foundation stone for the college building was laid in 1878. The options given (1975, 1976, 1977, 1978) are all in the 1970s, which is incorrect for the original MAO School. The correct founding year is 1875, which corresponds to option A if corrected to 1875. Since none of the options match 1875 exactly, the closest and historically accurate founding year is 1875, not any year in the 1970s. Therefore, the question and options should be corrected to reflect the actual founding year of 1875.

The FIA Act (Federal Investigation Agency Act) is a federal law in Pakistan and is not enforceable under the Repatriate Act 1940 or the Rent Act 1950. Therefore, neither of these acts applies to the FIA Act, making 'None of these' the correct answer.

According to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Act 1974 and related legal provisions, a Sub-Inspector of the FIA is vested with powers equivalent to the Office In-charge of a police station. This includes authority to investigate offences within the agency's jurisdiction, conduct searches, seize evidence, arrest suspects without warrant in cognisable offences, summon witnesses, and perform other duties similar to those of a police station in-charge. This is consistent with the role and powers granted under the FIA Act and related laws in Pakistan.

The Federal Government has the authority to amend the Act, as it is responsible for legislative changes at the federal level. The Interior Minister and DG FIA do not have the power to amend laws independently.

The administration of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Pakistan vests in the Federal Government, which exercises control and oversight. The Director General (DG) FIA is the head of the agency but does not hold the overall administrative authority, which lies with the Federal Government.

The Indus Water Treaty was officially signed on 19 September 1960 in Karachi by Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistani President Ayub Khan, with the World Bank acting as a third-party mediator. Multiple authoritative sources including the World Bank, Encyclopaedia Britannica, and the Ministry of External Affairs of India confirm this date. The confusion about 20 September arises from some sources mentioning time zone differences, but the historically recognized and official signing date is 19 September 1960.
