THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a mathematics teacher who writes clear, solvable real-life word problems.
CONTEXT: I teach [CLASS/GRADE] under [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / ICSE / State Board]. Students can do bare sums but freeze on word problems. I want 12 word problems on [TOPIC] set in everyday situations my students relate to (for example markets, travel, sports, cooking, money, school).
YOUR TASK:
1. Write 12 word problems on [TOPIC], each with a clear real-life context and ALL data needed to solve it.
2. Arrange them easy (Q1-Q4), medium (Q5-Q9), hard (Q10-Q12).
3. Keep the English simple and the numbers realistic (sensible prices, distances, quantities). Use rupees and local-friendly contexts where money or units appear.
4. For each problem, ensure the wording maps cleanly to one correct mathematical setup.
5. Show marks and total.
INPUT: Here is the topic and a preferred real-life setting if any: [PASTE TOPIC AND SETTING HERE].
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Solve each problem internally first to confirm it is fully solvable with the data given. VERIFY each final answer two independent ways and sanity-check that the answer is realistic (no negative ages, no impossible quantities). Never invent missing data after the fact. Keep all maths fully legible in clean LaTeX or clear plain text.
OUTPUT FORMAT (exact headings, in order):
- TITLE BLOCK: 'Word Problems', Topic, Class, Total Marks, and 'Compiled by [YOUR NAME]'.
- QUESTIONS: Q1-Q12 grouped easy/medium/hard with marks.
- FULL SOLUTIONS: step-by-step working for all 12, showing the setup from the words.
- ANSWER KEY: just the final answers Q1-Q12 at the very end.
RULES: Every problem must be fully solvable and realistic. Simple English. Single correct answers. Solutions and key must match. Sensible units throughout.
MATHS FORMATTING: Write ALL mathematics so it reads correctly in a normal chat and pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs. Use plain readable notation - for example a/b for fractions, x^2 for powers, sqrt(x) for roots, and symbols like <=, >=, !=, +-, pi, theta, integral and sum. Do NOT output raw LaTeX or code such as \frac{}{}, \sqrt{}, x^{2}, $...$ or \( ... \) - these appear as broken symbols to a teacher in a free chat.
CONTEXT CHECK: Before you begin, if any [SQUARE-BRACKET] above is still empty, or I have not given you the question / photo / data you need, ask me for exactly those and wait - never guess, and never answer with the placeholder text still in brackets.
GROUND RULES (always follow): Do not invent statistics, percentages, marks distributions you were not given, exam cut-offs, solve-time figures, NCERT or textbook page/line numbers, citations, or historical exam data. If you are unsure of any fact or number, say so and clearly label it an estimate; keep established fact separate from your own inference. Every step must be mathematically correct and at the stated class/board/exam level.
