Two farmers agree that pigs are worth $ \$300$ and that goats are worth $ \$210$. When one farmer owes the other money, he pays the debt in pigs or goats, with ``change'' received in the form of goats or pigs as necessary. (For example, a $ \$390$ debt could be paid with two pigs, with one goat received in change.) What is the amount of the smallest positive debt that can be resolved in this way? $ \textbf{(A) } \$5\qquad \textbf{(B) } \$10\qquad \textbf{(C) } \$30\qquad \textbf{(D) } \$90\qquad \textbf{(E) } \$210$

Let $ ABC$ be an acute triangle, and $ M_a$, $ M_b$, $ M_c$ be the midpoints of the sides $ a$, $ b$, $ c$. The perpendicular bisectors of $ a$, $ b$, $ c$ (passing through $ M_a$, $ M_b$, $ M_c$) intersect the boundary of the triangle again in points $ T_a$, $ T_b$, $ T_c$. Show that if the set of points $ \left\{A,B,C\right\}$ can be mapped to the set $ \left\{T_a, T_b, T_c\right\}$ via a similitude transformation, then two feet of the altitudes of triangle $ ABC$ divide the respective triangle sides in the same ratio. (Here, "ratio" means the length of the shorter (or equal) part divided by the length of the longer (or equal) part.) Does the converse statement hold?
