Get the olympiad problems from previous years. They are usually online with solutions. For example here:

What about the theory ? How shall i prepare for that ?

What about the theory ?

What particular aspects of theory are you concerned about? "The theory" of physics is a very broad topic; you're not going to find a single book that covers everything.

That is what i mean. If you could suggest any book for classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism which includes theory as well as good problems.
Also i am using Sears and Zemansky's University physics with modern physics, would that be sufficient.

I've always liked the Feynman Lectures on Physics; it's very comprehensive (I said no single book can cover everything, but this probably comes pretty close). The print book version is not cheap, but there's an online version now:

I'm not familiar with it so I can't say.
