A is true and R is false

For Petroleum refineries, the raw material sources were less decisive factors for industrial location. Because industries were already setup in coalfields and did not move away due to industrial inertia. Petroleum refining does not lead significant weightloss, unlike the aluminum/copper/sugarcane/timber processing. Virtually all the by-products can be used. Therefore, refineries can be set up near the raw material or near the market or at an intermediate break of the bulk location (ports/coastal locations).
