For ECIPL exam it is important to focus on the right topics. 

Question 1 – 15 Marks

Rohan, a fitness enthusiast residing in Purena, Chhattisgarh, purchased a high-end motorized treadmill online from FitGrow e-Retail for ₹1,25,000. The website listing and promotional materials explicitly guaranteed a "3-Year Comprehensive Warranty" and promised high-grade shock absorbers.
