I have a peculiar doubt about domain names and trademarks. I know that we cannot register trademarks in domain names like mygoogle.com etc. But can we go with nTLD names like trade.mark?

To be clear, namecheap is a trademark of namecheap.com, can we register domainname.cheap and do domain name selling business in the website?

It's not about the extension used, it's about whether a name is considered to be infringing somebody else's trademark, whether that includes the extension or not.
You might get away with your example as it's so generic, however don't take my word for it - you very well might not. I'd not register that anyway.
It's not an exact science, sometimes subjective, and there are many nuances.

There you are - clear as mud.
