Second
Third

Explanation: • India ranks Second in coal production globally. • Despite high production, India still imports some specific grades (like coking coal) because domestic coal has high ash content. • China is typically the highest producer. • Being 1st or 3rd is factually incorrect as per the NCERT data provided. • Trick: 'India is 2nd in Coal'. • USA has the largest reserve of coal in the world.
