Portuguese designer Miguel Neiva created a system of symbols that allows colorblind people to identify colors. The system consists of using symbols that identify primary colors (blue, yellow, and red). Furthermore, the juxtaposition of two of these symbols allows the identification of secondary colors (such as green, which is yellow combined with blue). Black and white are identified by small squares: the one that symbolizes black is filled, while the one that symbolizes white is empty. The symbols that represent black and white can also be associated with the symbols that identify colors, meaning whether these are light or dark.
According to the text, how many colors can be represented by the proposed system?
(A) 14
(B) 18
(C) 20
(D) 21
(E) 23
Ceramics possess the property of shrinkage, which consists of the evaporation of water existing in a ceramic set or block subjected to a certain elevated temperature: in its place appearing ``empty spaces'' that tend to approach each other. In the place previously occupied by water, gaps will remain and, consequently, the set tends to shrink. Consider that in the firing process, clay ceramics undergo a contraction in linear dimensions of 20\%.
Taking into account the firing process and the contraction suffered, the volume V of a clay serving dish, with a cubic shape with edge a, decreases to a value that is
(A) $20\%$ less than V, since the volume of the cube is directly proportional to the length of its side.
(B) $36\%$ less than V, because the area of the base decreases from $\mathrm{a}^{2}$ to $((1-0.2)\mathrm{a})^{2}$.
(C) $48.8\%$ less than V, because the volume decreases from $\mathrm{a}^{3}$ to $(0.8\mathrm{a})^{3}$.
(D) $51.2\%$ less than V, because each side decreases to $80\%$ of the original length.
(E) $60\%$ less than V, because each side decreases by $20\%$.
The Puerta de Europa towers are two towers leaning against each other, built on an avenue in Madrid, Spain. The inclination of the towers is $15^{\circ}$ with the vertical and they each have a height of 114 m (the height is indicated in the figure as segment AB). These towers are a good example of an oblique prism with a square base and one of them can be seen in the image.
Using 0.26 as the approximate value for the tangent of $15^{\circ}$ and two decimal places in operations, one discovers that the base area of this building occupies on the avenue a space
(A) less than $100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (B) between $100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ and $300 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (C) between $300 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ and $500 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (D) between $500 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ and $700 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. (E) greater than $700 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$.

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
During a Mathematics class, the teacher suggests to the students that a Cartesian coordinate system $(x, y)$ be established and represents on the board the description of five algebraic sets, I, II, III, IV and V, as follows:
I - is the circle with equation $x^{2} + y^{2} = 9$; II - is the parabola with equation $y = -x^{2} - 1$, with $x$ varying from $-1$ to $1$; III - is the square formed by the vertices $(-2,1)$, $(-1,1)$, $(-1,2)$ and $(-2,2)$; IV - is the square formed by the vertices $(1,1)$, $(2,1)$, $(2,2)$ and $(1,2)$; V - is the point $(0,0)$.
Next, the teacher correctly represents the five sets on the same grid, composed of squares with sides measuring one unit of length each, obtaining a figure.
Which of these figures was drawn by the teacher?
(A), (B), (C), (D), (E) [as shown in the figures]
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation establishes the intensity of the force of attraction between two masses. It is represented by the expression:
$$F = G \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{d^{2}}$$
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]

The drains used in the new reservoir must be identical to those in the existing one.
The number of drains in the new reservoir should be equal to
