    Use a single table. Enter the questions, answers, and image names in the table as separate columns. For example:

    How much is 3+5?     8     eight.png

    Change an attribute (e.g. game.questionNumber) to random(1,tableRowCount(tableName)).
    Change game attributes to the values in each column to temporarily store them.
    Delete the chosen row.
    Repeat as necessary.

    if i do that it doesnt display all my questions and my images wont display according to the question ! i have my question and images tied to each other by telling the image to display the image 1... when question number is 1... so now i want to set my question number to the random table ive set up how can i do that ?

    how can i set the question number to my random table ?

    by the way thanks for the answer tatiang but i looking for something a bit different because the random function always brings some kind of problem with it.

    You can display text right from a table and you can call an image by name as well. Since you have your images named with a number prefix you can sync it with the table row of the matching question. So you can call the image like this change attribute self.image to game.questionnumber..".png"

    The random issue is fixed in 1.25 and we can now set a seed value. The method @tatiang mentioned is the best method. I just built a quiz app for a client and coded it as he described above. This is a common method for syncing data across a series of column rows and is used for more than quizzes.
