About this paper

Sir Adnan's 'PMS 2026 –GK BOOKLET' one-liner booklet (5 pp, header 'ONE-LINER (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)') from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. 49 of 50 printed items published (1 dropped: printed Q32, an exact internal duplicate of Q17, 'Unit of frequency? Hertz'). Two booklet answers are corrected to the standard SI answer and flagged in keyFlag: printed Q10 (magnetic field intensity → ampere per metre, not tesla) and printed Q42 (electric flux → volt-metre, not weber).

Questions

Paper practice FAQs

Is this an official PMS past paper? +

No. It is Sir Adnan's 'PMS 2026 –GK BOOKLET' one-liner booklet from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack, published as paperType 'practice', never as a past paper. The year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.

Why are 49 questions published instead of 50? +

The booklet prints 50 items, but printed Q32 ('Unit of frequency?') exactly repeats printed Q17 ('Unit of frequency? Hertz'), so the duplicate was dropped and only the first occurrence is published.

Why do two answers differ from the booklet? +

Printed Q10 and Q42 are corrected to the standard SI answers and flagged in keyFlag: magnetic field intensity (H) is measured in amperes per metre (tesla is magnetic flux density), and electric flux is measured in volt-metres (weber is magnetic flux).

What topics does this set cover? +

SI units for electricity, magnetism, force, pressure, energy, power and temperature; isopleth lines (isobar, isotherm, isohyet, isotach, isohume, isohaline, isogal, contour and equipotential lines); and isotopes and proton/neutron counts for hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen and uranium.
