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. This file converts format-A Q101–150 and COMPLETES the booklet (Q1–50 in run 166, Q51–100 in run 167). 35 of 50 printed items are published. Dropped, never inferred: 12 internal duplicates of earlier items in the same booklet (Q106, Q115, Q116, Q117, Q126, Q128, Q133, Q134, Q135, Q145, Q146, Q149, cross-linked to their first occurrences), Q125 (largest stadium — Jinnah Sports Stadium, Islamabad, is not among the options), Q141 (Karachi Nuclear Power Plant and KANUPP are the same plant, so two options are correct), and Q144 (Ruth Pfau is not Pakistan's first female doctor and no standard answer is identifiable from the options). Four items are published as 'None' with correction flags because the true answer is not among the options: Q110 (first woman judge — Khalida Rashid Khan), Q130 (first woman Chief Minister — Maryam Nawaz, Punjab 2024), Q143 (first female minister — Begum Kulsoom Saifullah Khan) and Q147 (no woman has ever been Chief Minister of Sindh). Q104's answer is published as 'All of these' (the booklet's answer column spells out the motto) and Q113's compressed options are expanded to full names.

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.
Fifteen items were dropped, never inferred: twelve restate facts already published from earlier items in the same booklet (Q106, Q115, Q116, Q117, Q126, Q128, Q133, Q134, Q135, Q145, Q146, Q149), Q125 names the wrong stadium and omits the true largest one, Q141 lists the same nuclear plant under two names, and Q144's 'first female doctor' claim about Ruth Pfau has no standard answer in the options.
In each case the booklet's marked name is wrong and the true answer is not among the options, so 'None' is the correct option: the first woman judge was Khalida Rashid Khan (Q110), the first woman Chief Minister is Maryam Nawaz of Punjab (Q130), the first female federal minister was Begum Kulsoom Saifullah Khan (Q143), and no woman has ever been Chief Minister of Sindh (Q147). Each item carries a correction flag explaining this.
Yes. Format-A Q1–50 were published in run 166 and Q51–100 in run 167; this file publishes Q101–150, so all 150 unique items are now accounted for (format B repeats Q1–100 in a second layout and was used only as a cross-check). The header's MCQs-500 claim remains untrue — nothing was invented to reach 500.
