The efficiency index used by a milk producer to qualify his cows is given by the product of the lactation time (in days) by the average daily milk production (in kg), divided by the interval between births (in months). For this producer, the cow is qualified as efficient when this index is, at minimum, 281 kilograms per month, always maintaining the same management conditions (feeding, vaccination and others). When comparing two or more cows, the most efficient is the one with the highest index.
The table presents the data collected from five cows:

One of the major problems faced on Brazilian highways is the excess load transported by trucks. Designed for traffic within legal load limits, the road surface deteriorates with the excessive weight of trucks. Furthermore, excess load interferes with the vehicle's braking capacity and suspension operation, frequent causes of accidents.
Aware of this responsibility and based on experience gained from weighing, a truck driver knows that his truck can carry, at most, 1500 tiles or 1200 bricks.
Considering this truck loaded with 900 tiles, how many bricks, at most, can be added to the load so as not to exceed the truck's maximum load?
(A) 300 bricks (B) 360 bricks (C) 400 bricks (D) 480 bricks (E) 600 bricks
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation establishes the intensity of the force of attraction between two masses. It is represented by the expression:

where $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ correspond to the masses of the bodies, $d$ to the distance between them, $G$ to the universal gravitational constant, and $F$ to the force that one body exerts on the other.
The diagram represents the circular trajectories of five satellites, of equal mass, orbiting the Earth.
Which graph expresses the intensities of the forces that the Earth exerts on each satellite as a function of time?
(A), (B), (C), (D), (E) [as shown in the figures]

Ceramics constitute an artefact quite present in the history of humanity. One of its various properties is shrinkage (contraction), which consists of the evaporation of water existing in a ceramic set or block when subjected to a certain elevated temperature. This elevation of temperature, which occurs during the firing process, causes a reduction of up to 20\% in the linear dimensions of a piece.
Suppose that a piece, when moulded in clay, had a rectangular base whose sides measured 30 cm and 15 cm. After firing, these sides were reduced by 20\%.
In relation to the original area, the area of the base of this piece, after firing, was reduced by
(A) $4\%$. (B) $20\%$. (C) $36\%$. (D) $64\%$. (E) $96\%$.
