About this paper
Sir Adnan's 'PMS 2026 GK' booklet (12 pp, header 'MCQs-500 (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)') from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. The booklet prints the same 150 items twice: format A (table, Q1–50 at the start and Q51–150 at the end) and format B (inline, Q1–100). This file converts format-A Q1–50 only; Q51–150 remain for later runs. 48 of 50 printed items are published: Q30 dropped because the booklet's answer (1944) is absent from its options, and Q50 dropped because its answer (the four TAPI members) is absent from the printed options in both formats. Seven items print five options; the weakest distractor was dropped and flagged per item.

Questions
No. It is Sir Adnan's 'PMS 2026 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.
Two items were dropped as unanswerable as printed, never inferred: Q30 (the booklet's answer 1944 is not among its options 1948/1949/1941/1945) and Q50 (its answer, the four TAPI member countries, is not among the printed single-country options in either of the booklet's two formats).
Seven items (Q15, Q17, Q21, Q23, Q28, Q46, Q49) print five options in the booklet. The site format carries four options, so the weakest distractor was dropped and the trim flagged on the item itself; the correct answer is unaffected.
No. The header claims MCQs-500, but the file prints 150 unique items: format A covers Q1–150 and format B repeats Q1–100 in a second layout. Nothing was invented to reach 500; this file publishes format-A Q1–50, and Q51–150 follow in later runs.
