To take the trip of her dreams, a person needed to take out a loan in the amount of $\mathrm{R}\$ 5000.00$. To pay the installments, she has at most $\mathrm{R}\$ 400.00$ monthly. For this loan amount, the installment value ($P$) is calculated as a function of the number of installments ($n$) according to the formula
$$P = \frac { 5000 \times 1.013 ^ { n } \times 0.013 } { \left( 1.013 ^ { n } - 1 \right) }$$
If necessary, use 0.005 as an approximation for $\log 1.013$; 2.602 as an approximation for $\log 400$; 2.525 as an approximation for $\log 335$.
According to the given formula, the smallest number of installments whose values do not compromise the limit defined by the person is
(A) 12.
(B) 14.
(C) 15.
(D) 16.
(E) 17.

An entrepreneur uses machines whose internal pressure $P$, in atmosphere, depends on the continuous time of use $t$, in hour, and on a positive parameter $K$, which defines the model of the machine, according to the expression: $$P = 4 \cdot \log[-K \cdot (t + 1) \cdot (t - 19)]$$
The manufacturer of these machines recommends to the user that the internal pressure of this type of machine does not exceed 10 atmospheres during its operation.
The entrepreneur intends to buy new machines of this type that should operate, daily, for a continuous period of 10 hours. For this, he needs to define the model of machine to be acquired by choosing the largest possible value of the parameter $K$, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation. The largest value to be chosen for $K$ is
(A) $10^{0.5}$
(B) $10^{8}$
(C) $\dfrac{10^{2.5}}{84}$
(D) $\dfrac{10^{2.5}}{99}$
(E) $25 \times 10^{-2}$
