Two computer scientists-turned-farmers are planning what and how to plant during the upcoming season. There are four possible courses of action they can take, and they seek advice. In each case the outcome is either NP-complete or it can be calculated in polynomial time. You are tasked to assess the existence of a polynomial time algorithms and explain how it is assessed. If you find one, show it. If you did not find one, explain why one does not exist.

There is a total of n tons of seeds to plant, with k number of types of crops, labeled for simplicity as c₁, c₂, c₃, ..., c_k. The quantities of each crop are given by 2ⁱ, where i ˃ 0 is an integer. The two farmers want to each plant an equal mix of crops.
