How do you know that a tragedy is a problem play not a revenge play or Shakespeare's tragedy?

A play could be all three. Hamlet, a tragedy by Shakespeare, and also a revenge play, is thought by some to be a "problem play" because it does not fit their definition in some way. And that is what makes people call plays "problem plays"--they have decided that plays have to follow certain rules which they made up, and when Shakespeare doesn't follow their rules it's a "problem". The only rules Shakespeare went by were: the people must like it and the government must tolerate it.

What is a comedy history and tragedy that Shakespeare wrote?

With some plays it is hard to tell what they are but The Merry Wives of Windsor is very clearly a comedy, Titus Andronicus is as clearly a tragedy. As for the histories, Henry V is a history which is not a tragedy (although it might be considered a comedy as it ends with the announcement of a wedding). Richard III on the other hand is a history which is clearly a tragedy (it has almost the same plot as Macbeth.)
