Q.46-50)

Although coal was used as a fuel for centuries, not until the 18th century did it begin to replace wood as the dominant fuel in the Western world. Since then, coal has had a significant impact on human history. It was coal that powered the steam engine and supplied the energy for the Industrial Revolution, which began in the mid-18th century. Today utility companies use coal to produce electricity, and heavy industries use coal for steel production. Coal consumption has surged in recent years, particularly in the rapidly growing economies of China and India, both of which have large coal reserves.

Coal is found in different grades, largely as a result of the varying amounts of heat and pressure it was exposed to during formation. Coal exposed to high heat and pressure during its formation is drier, is more compact (and therefore harder), and has higher heating value (that is, a higher energy density).

Q.46) Which of the following about coal is incorrect?

[1] Coal has had a significant impact on human history
