    B 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 42.86% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Usually the full amount amount of Work certified is not paid by the contractee and he may pay a fixed %, say 80% or 90% of the Work Certified – depending on the terms of the contract. This is known as Cash Ratio. The balance amount not paid is known as retention Money. This acts as a type of security for any defective work which may be found in the contract later on.
