About this paper
Sir Adnan's 'PMS 2026 GK Advanced' booklet (26 pp, header 'ONE-LINER (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)') from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. It prints 100 MCQs with options and a marked answer; this file publishes the first chunk Q1–50 (Pakistan affairs and economy, international organisations, everyday science, climate, and computing). 49 of 50 printed items published, with the booklet's printed options. 1 dropped: Q6 (Pakistan's UN Human Rights Council term) — no printed option matches a real term: Pakistan's previous term was 2021–2023 and its most recent election (October 2025) was for 2026–2028, while the booklet marks the non-existent term 2022–2024, so the item is unanswerable as printed and was dropped, never inferred. 1 correction: Q44 largest energy source → Gas (booklet marks Oil; FY2024-25 primary energy supply: gas 32.7 MTOE vs oil 19.0 MTOE). Note flags: Q4 (EU as bloc/GSP+ destination vs USA as largest single country), Q10 (post-2014 era characterisation), Q13 (IFPRI co-published earlier GHI editions), Q29 (joule is the SI energy unit; calories are the conventional food-energy unit). Q51–100 remain for a later run; the booklet PDF is retained in work/pms-screening/.

Questions
No. It is Sir Adnan's 'PMS 2026 GK Advanced' 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.
49 questions (printed Q1–50 of the booklet's 100 MCQs, minus dropped Q6). Q51–100 remain for a later run in the same chunk pattern.
Q6 asks for Pakistan's most recent UN Human Rights Council term, but none of its options matches a real term: Pakistan's previous term was 2021–2023 and it was elected in October 2025 for 2026–2028, while the booklet marks 2022–2024, which is not a Council term. With no correct option printed, the item was dropped as unanswerable as printed, never inferred.
Yes. Every answer was checked as a standard fact against the booklet's marked answer; one was corrected (Q44: Gas, not Oil, is Pakistan's largest primary energy source in FY2024-25) and four carry note flags (Q4, Q10, Q13, Q29). The booklet prints (A)–(D) options with a marked answer, so optionsSource is 'printed'.
