I bought it from Apple authorized reseller. When i buy any product i always check if the product is fake or not. When i enter the serial number (mentioned on the power adapter box) on checkcoverage.apple.com , i get invalid serial number so im worried that the product is fake.

I don't believe entering the serial number for devices, like chargers, will show up in the AppleCare coverage database ... and cables do not have serial numbers.

You may also want to verify that this reseller is actually an Apple Authorized one: https://locate.apple.com/findlocations

Did you purchase these directly from an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Reseller ... of from another third-party source? If the latter, then it is possible that you purchased "fake" Apple products.
