(b) Read the following extract from “Dawn – Economic and Business Review”, 1st April 2002.
The reasons for the high cost of production which damage industry are many.
They include the high cost of power, frequent break downs at the power
stations and the unsteady supply of electricity from them.

Give three reasons for the high cost of power from thermal power stations in Pakistan.
[3]
(ii)
Suggest one reason why power stations frequently break down.
(iii)
Other than the ‘frequent break downs at the power stations’, why is the supply of power
‘unsteady’?
[2]
(iv)
How may factories try to overcome the problem of unreliable electricity supply from the
national grid? Why is it important for them to do so?
