About this paper
A 100-item Sir Adnan booklet headed 'PMS 2026 GK BOOKLET / MCQs (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. 87 items are published here in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations; the source prints options but NO answer key, so optionsSource is recorded as 'printed' and every answer was determined from the standard fact. Printed Q1–Q10 (the Current Affairs section) are dropped because their 2025 winners/hosts/themes are not among the options or the event did not occur in 2025; printed Q83 (first CPEC project) and Q84 (maritime boundary) are dropped because no option is the complete standard answer; printed Q92 is dropped because the 2025 Nobel Peace laureate María Corina Machado is not among the options.

No. It is a Sir Adnan practice booklet headed 'PMS 2026 GK BOOKLET', prepared for PMS Screening 2026. It is published as paperType 'practice', never as a past paper, and the year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.
Printed Q1–Q10 are dropped because their 2025 answers (e.g. Nobel Literature laureate László Krasznahorkai, Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner, International Booker winner 'Heart Lamp') are not among the options, or the event did not occur in 2025; Q83, Q84 and Q92 are dropped for the same reason — no option is the complete standard answer.
No. Unlike the earlier PMS mocks in this pack, this booklet prints no answer key, so every published answer was verified against the standard fact rather than copied from a key.
Nine printed items (Q19, Q32, Q51, Q61, Q71, Q77, Q81, Q82, Q86) print the correct answer twice among their options. Each is flagged in keyFlag and the answer is the repeated option either way; the option sets are reproduced as printed.
