Key Facts: FGV Vestibular Exam

The FGV Vestibular first phase has 60 objective multiple-choice questions, 15 each in Matematica, Lingua Portuguesa, Ingles, and Ciencias Humanas.

The discursive second phase includes a redacao plus 8 questions in Matematica or Ciencias Humanas, depending on the course.

Standard FGV Vestibular registration costs about R$ 275, or R$ 135 when applying via ENEM.

Each exam period lasts about 3 hours 30 minutes, with objective and discursive modules held in two periods.

FGV is administered by Fundacao Getulio Vargas, with schools in Sao Paulo (EAESP), Rio de Janeiro, and Brasilia.

Admission is by ranked classification; seats are limited to each program's vagas with no fixed pass mark.

FGV offers undergraduate courses including Administracao, Economia, Direito, Relacoes Internacionais, and Matematica Aplicada.

The exam is based on Ensino Medio content and is known for demanding analytical mathematics and interpretive questions.

FGV Vestibular is a two-phase admissions exam: 60 objective MCQs (Matematica, Lingua Portuguesa, Ingles, Ciencias Humanas) plus a discursive phase with a redacao and 8 questions, each period about 3h30, costing R$ 275.

1A company sells a product for R$ 80 after applying a 20% discount on its original list price. What was the original list price?

A.R$ 100

B.R$ 96

C.R$ 64

D.R$ 120

Explanation: If 20% is discounted, the sale price represents 80% of the original. So original = 80 / 0.80 = R$ 100. FGV frequently tests percentage relationships in business contexts.

2An investment of R$ 1,000 earns compound interest at 10% per year. What is its value after 2 years?

A.R$ 1,210

B.R$ 1,200

C.R$ 1,100

D.R$ 1,221

Explanation: Compound interest: 1000 * (1.10)^2 = 1000 * 1.21 = R$ 1,210. Compounding applies the rate to the accumulated balance each period, a core topic in FGV's economics-oriented math.

3What is the solution set of the equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0?

A.{2, 3}

B.{1, 6}

C.{-2, -3}

D.{-1, -6}

Explanation: Factoring: (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, so x = 2 or x = 3. The sum of roots is 5 and the product is 6, matching the coefficients by Vieta's formulas.

4If f(x) = 2x + 3, what is the value of f(f(1))?

A.13

B.11

C.7

D.8

Explanation: First f(1) = 2(1) + 3 = 5. Then f(5) = 2(5) + 3 = 13. Function composition evaluates the inner function before the outer one.

5A bag contains 4 red and 6 blue balls. If one ball is drawn at random, what is the probability it is red?

A.2/5

B.3/5

C.1/4

D.4/6

Explanation: There are 4 red balls out of 10 total, so P(red) = 4/10 = 2/5. Probability of a single event equals favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes.

6The first term of an arithmetic progression is 3 and the common difference is 4. What is the 10th term?

A.39

B.43

C.40

D.37

Explanation: The nth term is a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d = 3 + 9*4 = 3 + 36 = 39. Arithmetic progressions add a constant difference between consecutive terms.

7What is the value of log base 2 of 32?

A.5

B.4

C.6

D.16

Explanation: log2(32) asks for the power to which 2 must be raised to get 32. Since 2^5 = 32, the answer is 5. Logarithms invert exponentiation.

8A right triangle has legs of length 6 and 8. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

A.10

B.14

C.12

D.48

Explanation: By the Pythagorean theorem, hypotenuse = sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) = sqrt(36 + 64) = sqrt(100) = 10. The 6-8-10 triangle is a scaled 3-4-5 triple.

9A store marks up cost by 50% to set its price, then offers a 20% discount on that price. The final price represents what percentage of the original cost?

A.120%

B.130%

C.110%

D.150%

Explanation: Price after markup = 1.50 * cost. After 20% discount = 0.80 * 1.50 = 1.20, i.e. 120% of cost. Successive percentage changes multiply rather than add.

10How many distinct ways can 5 different books be arranged on a shelf?

A.120

B.25

C.60

D.5

Explanation: The number of arrangements of 5 distinct objects is 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120. Permutations count ordered arrangements of all items.
