The correct answer is A) 1 and 2 only. Statements 1 and 2 accurately describe characteristics of Indian coal, while statement 3 is incorrect.
Indian coal is known for its high ash content and relatively low sulphur content compared to coal found in many other parts of the world. The ash fusion temperature of Indian coal is generally high, which can lead to operational issues like slagging in boilers if not properly managed.
