A Correct answer
Explanation

Gondwana coal is indeed laminated and bituminous in nature, making statement 1 correct. However, statement 2 is incorrect because Gondwana coal is NOT completely free from moisture, sulphur, and phosphorus - it contains small amounts of these impurities though generally less than Tertiary coal. The first statement accurately describes the coal's physical structure.
