  1. Joint sitting of both houses
  2. Senate
  3. Either house

Question 22General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

The Pakistan Resolution of 1940 demanded that the Muslim-majority areas of the subcontinent be grouped into:

  1. A confederation under British paramountcy
  2. Autonomous provinces within a united India
  3. Independent states in which Muslim majorities would be free to govern Correct answer.
  4. A single federation with a Muslim head of state

Explanation

The Lahore Resolution called for geographically contiguous units with Muslim majorities to be constituted into independent states where Muslims could govern themselves. It did not demand one unified Muslim state, nor did it accept continued British paramountcy.

Question 23General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

The doctrine of the 'basic structure' of the constitution, invoked in Pakistan's judicial history, primarily limits the power of:

  1. The Election Commission to postpone polls
  2. Parliament to amend the constitution in ways that destroy its essential features Correct answer.
  3. The provinces to legislate on residual subjects
  4. The President to appoint judges

  2. Competition between Britain and Russia for influence in Central Asia Correct answer.

  4. The contest between India and Pakistan over Kashmir's rivers

  1. The President may override the Senate on any bill
  2. Money bills are the exclusive preserve of the National Assembly, with the Senate limited to recommendations Correct answer.
  3. The Senate's consent is required only for constitutional amendments
  4. The Senate has equal powers over all legislation

Explanation

The Constitution treats financial legislation as a National Assembly prerogative, allowing the Senate to recommend changes within a set period but not to reject a money bill. The Senate retains substantial powers over ordinary legislation, so its role is not uniformly subordinate.

Question 26General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

  1. The Indian Independence Act 1947
  2. The Government of India Act 1935, as adapted Correct answer.
  3. The Objectives Resolution
  4. The Cabinet Mission Plan

Explanation

After independence, Pakistan worked under the Government of India Act 1935 with adaptations made by the Constituent Assembly, until the first indigenous Constitution was enforced in 1956. The Indian Independence Act 1947 was a British statute creating the two dominions, not a working constitutional framework.

Question 27General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

  1. Non-Muslims and peasants
  2. Women and labourers
  3. Women and non-Muslims Correct answer.
  4. Technocrats and women

Explanation

The 1973 Constitution reserves seats in the National Assembly for women and for non-Muslims, in addition to the general seats filled by direct election. Reserved seats for women are filled through party lists in proportion to general seats won, while non-Muslim seats are elected by a separate electorate of non-Muslim voters.

Question 28General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

  1. The bill is referred to the Supreme Court
  2. The bill must be reintroduced in the next session
  3. The bill is deemed assented to after ten days Correct answer.
  4. The bill lapses automatically

Explanation

The Constitution provides that a bill presented to the President is deemed to have been assented to if it is not returned with a message within ten days. This prevents indefinite delay of legislation through presidential inaction.

Question 29General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

  1. Muhammad Ali Jinnah
  2. Sikandar Hayat Khan
  3. Liaquat Ali Khan
  4. A. K. Fazlul Huq Correct answer.

  1. Muhammad Ali Jinnah Correct answer.
  2. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan
  3. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
  4. Allama Iqbal

Explanation

Jinnah's presidential address at the Lahore session of 1940 presented Hindus and Muslims as two distinct nations with separate social and political identities. This gave the Two-Nation Theory its clearest political expression at that stage of the freedom movement.

Question 31General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

The Delhi Muslim Proposals of 1927 were significant because they:

  1. Rejected all cooperation with the Indian National Congress
  2. Demanded immediate partition of Punjab and Bengal
  3. Called for the abolition of the Punjab Legislative Council
  4. Accepted separate electorates in exchange for Muslim representation in Sindh and other reforms Correct answer.

Explanation

The Delhi Muslim Proposals, associated with Jinnah and other leaders, offered to give up separate electorates if Muslims received adequate representation in Punjab and Bengal and Sindh was elevated to a full province. The offer was not accepted by the Hindu leadership, which hardened Muslim opinion in favour of separate electorates.

Question 32General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

  1. Punjab
  2. Balochistan
  3. Sindh Correct answer.

  1. Punjab Correct answer.
  2. Sindh
  3. Balochistan

  1. Cotton Correct answer.
  2. Wheat
  3. Rice
  4. Sugarcane

Explanation

Cotton and cotton-based textiles have historically been the backbone of Pakistan's exports, with raw cotton and yarn feeding a large textile industry. Wheat and sugarcane are primarily domestic crops, while rice is an important but smaller export earner than the cotton value chain.

Question 38General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

  1. Dhaka
  2. Lahore Correct answer.
  3. Karachi
  4. Allahabad

The All-India Muslim League's twenty-seventh session was held at Minto Park, Lahore, in March 1940, which is why the resolution is also called the Lahore Resolution. It demanded that Muslim-majority areas be grouped into independent states.

  1. The President

Question 40General Knowledge / Pakistan Studies

In Pakistan's constitutional scheme, the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award determines how federally collected revenues are shared. Which body formally constitutes the NFC and approves its award?

  1. The President, on the advice of the Prime Minister, through a special order Correct answer.
  2. The Council of Common Interests, after the award is tabled before it
  3. The Prime Minister, after consultation with provincial chief ministers
  4. The National Economic Council, after review by the Planning Commission

Explanation

Article 160 of the 1973 Constitution requires the President to constitute the National Finance Commission, consisting of the federal finance minister and provincial finance ministers, by order. The Commission recommends the distribution of revenues between the Federation and the provinces, and its award takes effect through the President's order. The CCI, NEC, and Planning Commission have other economic coordination roles and do not constitute or approve the NFC Award.

Question 41English

In a Tehsil office note, choose the sentence that correctly uses the article system of English.

  1. The clerk filed application that had arrived on the previous day.
  2. The clerk filed a application that had arrived on the previous day.
  3. The clerk filed an application that had arrived on the previous day. Correct answer.
  4. The clerk filed the application that had arrived on a previous day.

Explanation

The indefinite article 'an' is required before a vowel sound, so 'an application' is correct, while 'the previous day' is a fixed adverbial phrase referring to a specific past day. Articles must agree with the sound of the following word, not merely its first letter.

Question 42English

A revenue record entry reads: 'The mutation was sanctioned by the Collector, who is the competent authority.' Identify the grammatical function of the clause 'who is the competent authority'.

  1. Noun clause acting as object
  2. Non-defining relative clause Correct answer.
  3. Defining relative clause
  4. Adverbial clause of reason

Explanation

The clause is set off by a comma and adds extra, non-essential information about the Collector, so it is a non-defining relative clause. Defining relative clauses are not separated by commas and serve to identify the noun rather than comment on it.

Question 43English

Which sentence uses the correct form of the past perfect tense in a Tehsildar's report?

  1. By the time the inspection team reached the village, the patwari had already completed the girdawari. Correct answer.
  2. By the time the inspection team reached the village, the patwari was already completing the girdawari.
  3. By the time the inspection team reached the village, the patwari has already completed the girdawari.
  4. By the time the inspection team reached the village, the patwari already completed the girdawari.

Explanation

The past perfect ('had completed') expresses an action finished before another past action ('reached'). When two past events are sequenced, the earlier one takes the past perfect and the later one the simple past.

Question 44English

Choose the option that correctly completes the sentence: 'The Assistant Commissioner insisted that the report ____ submitted before the deadline.'

  1. will be
  2. is
  3. was
  4. be Correct answer.

Explanation

Verbs such as 'insist', 'demand', and 'recommend' take the subjunctive mood in a that-clause, which uses the base form of the verb regardless of tense. Hence 'insisted that the report be submitted' is the standard formal construction.

Question 45English

In the sentence 'The Tehsildar, along with his assistants, is visiting the flood-affected villages', the verb 'is' agrees with which subject?

  1. His assistants
  2. The Tehsildar Correct answer.
  3. The phrase 'along with'
  4. The flood-affected villages

Explanation

When a subject is followed by a parenthetical phrase such as 'along with', 'as well as', or 'together with', the verb agrees with the first subject only. Therefore the singular 'Tehsildar' governs the singular verb 'is'.

Question 46English

Which sentence correctly uses a semicolon in official correspondence?

  1. The file was incomplete; therefore, it was returned to the patwari. Correct answer.
  2. The file was incomplete therefore; it was returned to the patwari.
  3. The file was incomplete, therefore, it was returned to the patwari.
  4. The file was incomplete; therefore it, was returned to the patwari.

Explanation

A semicolon joins two independent clauses, and a conjunctive adverb such as 'therefore' is followed by a comma. The pattern 'clause; therefore, clause' is the standard punctuation for this relationship.

Question 47English

Identify the sentence that uses the passive voice appropriately for an official revenue record.

  1. The land revenue has been collecting by the tehsil staff before the close of the financial year.
  2. The land revenue was collected by the tehsil staff before the close of the financial year. Correct answer.
  3. The tehsil staff collected the land revenue before the close of the financial year.
  4. The land revenue collected the tehsil staff before the close of the financial year.

Explanation

The passive voice is formed with the appropriate form of 'be' plus the past participle: 'was collected by'. It is appropriate in official records where the action matters more than the doer.

Question 48English

Choose the correct indirect (reported) form of the Tehsildar's statement: 'The patwari said to me, "I will submit the report tomorrow."'

  1. The patwari told me that he would submit the report the next day. Correct answer.
  2. The patwari told me that I would submit the report the next day.
  3. The patwari told me that he will submit the report tomorrow.
  4. The patwari said me that he would submit the report the next day.

Explanation

In reported speech, 'will' shifts to 'would', the first-person pronoun changes to third person, and 'tomorrow' becomes 'the next day'. The reporting verb 'told' also requires an indirect object.

Question 49English

Which option gives the correct passive transformation of 'The Naib Tehsildar is preparing the recovery schedule'?

  1. The recovery schedule is being prepared by the Naib Tehsildar. Correct answer.
  2. The recovery schedule is preparing by the Naib Tehsildar.
  3. The recovery schedule is prepared by the Naib Tehsildar.
  4. The recovery schedule has prepared by the Naib Tehsildar.

Explanation

The present continuous active 'is preparing' becomes 'is being prepared' in the passive, preserving both tense and aspect. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive.

Question 50English

Select the sentence in which the modal verb expresses the correct degree of obligation in a departmental order.

  1. All patwaris shall submit their registers to the Tehsil office by the tenth of each month. Correct answer.
  2. All patwaris might submit their registers to the Tehsil office by the tenth of each month.
  3. All patwaris could submit their registers to the Tehsil office by the tenth of each month.
  4. All patwaris may submit their registers to the Tehsil office by the tenth of each month.

Explanation

In legal and administrative drafting, 'shall' imposes a mandatory obligation on the person named. The other modals express possibility or permission, which would weaken a binding departmental order.
