The question was also attempted by many candidates, though poorly. 
The candidates gave a good explanation of localization of industry but misfired in the ‘b’ part by detailing the factors influencing location of industry rather than problems of localization of industry.  This led to loss of marks.

However, some good candidates who were able to identify enough points and developed them well scored good marks.  On the whole, the overall candidates’ performance was fair.  In order to score high marks in this question, candidates were expected to present their answers as follows:
(a)     Localization of industry occurs when firms in the same line of production concentrate in an area.

(b) Undue competition for raw materials and other factors of production push up costs;

(i) traffic congestion;
(ii) pressure on other infrastructure such as electricity;
(iii) limitation for expansion due to pressure on land;
(iv) rural-urban migration is increased, etc.
