Standard SSL vs Premium (EV) SSL Package

[vicky2017]

Do I need to purchase both standard SSL and Premium (EV) SSL Package for my single website? or Premium (EV) SSL Package is enough?

If it's just one site, you only need one certificate. Go to https://www.godaddy.com/web-security/ssl-certificate then click protect one site and then on the next screen select the EV option.

It is a rip-off and all about marketing

No, it's about keeping the web secure. Google is penalizing sites that are insecure (i.e. not using SSL). You can learn more about Google's position on security here:
