A private-work study problem gives a 90-day lien-recording period after completion. Completion is day 42. What outside day results?
Correct Answer
B) Day 132.
Adding 90 days to day 42 gives day 132.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Adding 90 days to day 42 gives day 132.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Day 90.
Day 90. is below the supported result for lien deadline; it likely omits part of the approved scope, cap, credit, or holdback.
Option C: Day 118.
Day 118. is below the supported result for lien deadline; it likely omits part of the approved scope, cap, credit, or holdback.
Option D: Day 142.
Day 142. is above the supported result for lien deadline; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.
