This KBC quiz is built the way the show's questions climb: a few easy ones about Kaun Banega Crorepati itself, then KBC GK questions on sport, cinema, currency notes, the national flag and the Oscars, ending with questions that would sit high on the prize ladder. It is an independent practice quiz inspired by the show's style and is not connected to the show or its makers.
Use it as KBC general knowledge questions practice before you try for the hot seat, or as a family game where one person plays Amitabh Bachchan and reads each question aloud. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so these KBC quiz questions with answers also work for revision. Play it, then share your score with friends.
One fact to take away: the first ₹5 crore winner, Sushil Kumar, came from Motihari in Bihar, the town where George Orwell was born.
