About this paper
A Sir Adnan mock test headed 'PMS 2026 TOUGH GK / MCQs-100 (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. The booklet prints only 80 items despite its MCQs-100 header; 76 are published here in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations. The source prints (A)-(D) options with the correct option marked (➤), so optionsSource is 'printed' and bookKey records the marked letter per item. Printed Q1, Q6, Q66 and Q78 are dropped because each prints its marked answer twice among the options (remittances Saudi Arabia, first female foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar, national game Hockey, national flower Jasmine), so two options are correct. One marked answer is corrected to the standard answer and flagged in keyFlag: Q8 longest-serving prime minister to Nawaz Sharif (about 9 years 179 days across three terms), not the booklet's Liaquat Ali Khan (4 years 63 days). Sections: Current Affairs 1-10, Global Issues & International Relations 11-20, Environment & Climate Change 21-30, Biology & Human Health 31-40, Food Sciences & Nutrition 41-45, Physics & Chemistry 46-50, Computer & IT 51-55, Mathematics & Logical Reasoning 56-60, General Science & Personalities 61-65, Sports/Culture/Miscellaneous 66-70, Ultra-Tricky 71-80.

No. It is a Sir Adnan mock test headed 'PMS 2026 TOUGH GK', prepared for PMS Screening 2026. It is published as paperType 'mock', never as a past paper, and the year 2026 is the booklet's mock label, not a claimed exam session.
The booklet's header claims 100 MCQs but it prints only 80 items, and 4 of those are dropped because each prints its marked answer twice among the options (Q1 remittances, Q6 first female foreign minister, Q66 national game, Q78 national flower), leaving 76 publishable items.
No. The booklet marks Liaquat Ali Khan, but Nawaz Sharif is the longest-serving prime minister by total tenure (about 9 years and 179 days across his three terms, 1990-1993, 1997-1999 and 2013-2017), while Liaquat Ali Khan served 4 years and 63 days. The item is published with Nawaz Sharif and the correction is flagged in keyFlag.
Each item's correct option is marked with a ➤ symbol in the booklet itself, unlike the earlier PMS mocks whose keys sit at the end. The marked letter is recorded as bookKey for every item, and every marked answer was reconciled to the standard fact before publishing.
