Arthur wishes to buy a piece of land from Cléber, who offers him the following payment options:
  • Option 1: Pay in full, for $\mathrm{R}\$ 55000.00$;
  • Option 2: Pay in installments, giving a down payment of $\mathrm{R}\$ 30000.00$, and another installment of $\mathrm{R}\$ 26000.00$ six months from now.
  • Option 3: Pay in installments, giving a down payment of $\mathrm{R}\$ 20000.00$, plus an installment of $\mathrm{R}\$ 20000.00$, six months from now and another of $\mathrm{R}\$ 18000.00$ twelve months from the purchase date.
  • Option 4: Pay in installments giving a down payment of R\$15000.00 and the remainder in 1 year from the purchase date, paying $\mathrm{R}\$ 39000.00$.
  • Option 5: Pay in installments, one year from now, the amount of $\mathrm{R}\$ 60000.00$.

Arthur has the money to pay in full, but evaluates whether it would not be better to invest the money from the full payment amount (or even a smaller amount) in an investment, with a return of 10\% per semester, withdrawing the amounts as the installments of the chosen option became due.

(A) 1.
(B) 2.
(C) 3.
(D) 4.

Water meters are markers of water consumption in residences and commercial establishments. There are several models of water meter displays, some of which have a combination of a display and two pointer clocks. The number formed by the first four digits of the display gives the consumption in $\mathrm{m}^{3}$, and the last two digits represent, respectively, the hundreds and tens of liters of water consumed. One of the pointer clocks indicates the quantity in liters, and the other in tenths of liters, as illustrated in the figure below.
Considering the information indicated in the figure, the total water consumption recorded on this water meter, in liters, is equal to

The graph shows the variation in the average extent of sea ice, in millions of square kilometers, comparing data from the years 1995, 1998, 2000, 2005 and 2007. The data correspond to the months of June to September. The Arctic begins to recover ice when summer ends, in mid-September. Sea ice acts as Earth's cooling system, reflecting almost all sunlight back into space. Dark ocean waters, in turn, absorb sunlight and reinforce Arctic warming, causing increasing melting of ice.
Based on the graph and the information in the text, it is possible to infer that there was greater global warming in
(A) 1995.
(B) 1998.
(C) 2000.
(D) 2005.
(E) 2007.

Jorge wants to install heaters in his beauty salon to improve the comfort of his clients in winter. He studies the purchase of units of two types of heaters: model A, which consumes $600\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{h}$ (grams per hour) of propane gas and covers $35\mathrm{~m}^{2}$ of area, or model B, which consumes $750\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{h}$ of propane gas and covers $45\mathrm{~m}^{2}$ of area. The manufacturer indicates that the heater should be installed in an environment with an area smaller than its coverage area. Jorge will install one unit per environment and wants to spend the minimum possible on gas. The area of the salon that should be climatized is found in the following plan (environments represented by three rectangles and a trapezoid).
Evaluating all the information, it will be necessary
