Gondwana coal is completely free of moisture and sulfur content, making it superior to Tertiary coal. 2. Tertiary coal deposits are younger in geological age and are predominantly lignite to sub-bituminous in grade. 3. Gondwana coal constitutes over 98% of India's total coal reserves and is mainly found in river valleys like Damodar and Mahanadi. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
