About this paper
Sir Adnan's 'Famous Personalities (GK) PMS GK' booklet (19 pp, header 'ONE-LINER 500- (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)') from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. It prints 300 one-liners; this file publishes Q201–250 (first Chief Election Commissioner through Eratosthenes' longitude-latitude grid), with authored distractors under the 2026-10-28 single-format decision. 48 of 50 printed items published: 2 dropped (Q222 'first Pakistani Laureus winner' — no individual Pakistani Laureus winner is verifiable; the only Pakistan Laureus link is the 2004 joint Pakistan-India team Sport for Good award, not Wasim Akram; Q224 'highest civilian award recipient' — the stem asks for a person but the booklet answer is the award title, Nishan-e-Pakistan, so it is unanswerable as printed) and 4 corrections (Q201 first CEC: F.M. Khan, 1956, not the booklet's Justice Munir Ahmad Mughal; Q211 architect of the 1973 Constitution: Abdul Hafeez Pirzada, not Zulfikar Ali Bhutto; Q217 father of Pakistan's space programme: Dr. Abdus Salam, founder of SUPARCO (1961), not Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan; Q220 first Test century: Nazar Mohammad, 124 not out at Lucknow, October 1952, not Hanif Mohammad), plus 9 note flags (Q214, Q215, Q225, Q226, Q228, Q230, Q232, Q242, Q250).

Questions
No. It is Sir Adnan's 'Famous Personalities (GK)' practice 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.
48 questions (printed Q201–250 of the booklet's 300 one-liners, minus 2 dropped items: Q222 and Q224). Q1–200 were published in earlier runs; Q251–300 remain for the final chunk of this booklet.

Yes. Every answer was checked as a standard fact; the booklet prints statement + answer only, so the three distractors per question are authored under the 2026-10-28 single-format decision (optionsSource 'authored'). Four booklet answers were corrected to the standard answer and flagged: Q201 first Chief Election Commissioner is F.M. Khan (1956), not Justice Munir Ahmad Mughal; Q211 architect of the 1973 Constitution is Abdul Hafeez Pirzada, not Zulfikar Ali Bhutto; Q217 father of Pakistan's space programme is Dr. Abdus Salam, founder of SUPARCO (1961), not Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan; Q220 first Test century is Nazar Mohammad (124 not out, Lucknow, October 1952), not Hanif Mohammad. Two items were dropped as unanswerable as printed: Q222 (no verifiable individual Pakistani Laureus winner) and Q224 (stem asks for a person, booklet answer is the award title).
