SSC CGL Demand and Supply Mock Test 2026: 50 Practice Questions with Answers
Demand and Supply looks easy when we read the definitions, but questions become confusing when price changes, curves shift, or two factors move together. This mock test is designed to help you practise those small differences instead of simply memorising the laws.
Demand and Supply is one of those Economy topics where students usually understand the chapter but still lose marks in MCQs. The main reason is that a change in quantity demanded is not the same as a change in demand, and the same confusion happens with supply.
In SSC-style questions, one small condition can completely change the answer. A rise in the price of the same product causes movement on a curve, while income, taste, technology or input cost can shift the whole curve. This test gives you enough practice to notice these differences quickly.
Demand on one side, Supply on the other
Demand
Demand tells us how much consumers are willing and able to buy at different prices during a given period.
Supply
Supply tells us how much producers are willing and able to offer for sale at different prices during a given period.

Check Every Answer
Open a question to see your response, the correct answer and a short explanation.
Fix the confusion, not just the wrong answer
If you got a question wrong, check whether the mistake happened because of price movement, curve shift, related goods or equilibrium. This makes revision much faster than reading the full chapter again.
Think about movement along the existing demand or supply curve.
These normally affect the demand curve itself.
These are common reasons for a change in supply.
Compare quantity supplied with quantity demanded before answering.
Questions Students Usually Have
Is Demand and Supply important for SSC CGL?
Yes. The topic helps you understand basic market behaviour and also supports other Economy areas. Questions can test laws, curve movements, determinants, elasticity and equilibrium.
Why does this test contain 50 questions?
This is a dedicated topic practice test. The larger question set gives you repeated practice with similar-looking concepts such as movement and shift, which is where many students make mistakes.
Is there negative marking in this mock test?
Yes. A correct response adds 2 marks, a wrong response deducts 0.50 marks, and an unattempted question gives zero.
What should I revise if my score is low?
First revise the law of demand and supply, then movement versus shift. After that, focus on related goods, determinants, elasticity and market equilibrium.
