  1. Question 1

    Q1. The merger package for erstwhile federally administered frontier spaces is often memorised alongside which mid‑calendar‑year effective date signalling the watershed administrative switch?

    • A) January 1972
    • B) August 1947
    • C) February 1956
    • D) Late May‑2018

    Answer: Late May‑2018

    Explanation: The Twenty-Fifth Constitutional Amendment, passed by Parliament in May 2018 and effective from 31 May 2018, merged the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ending their separate administrative status. The "late May 2018" date is the watershed marker commonly cited in Pakistan Studies textbooks and competitive examination notes.
