    {
              return View();
    }
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Addnew(Answer answr, int id)
    {
        answr.QuestionQId = id;
        _db.Answers.Add(answr);
        _db.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

        }
  <div>
   @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
 </div>

I don’t see where you are binding the necessary data I think AddNew [Get] method should get the question from DB and set it to the view, I suppose you should do something similar to this

public ActionResult Addnew(int id)
    {
              Answer ans = new Answer();
              ans.Question = _db.Questions.SingleOrDefault(q => q.Id == id);
              return View(ans);
    }
