I think this is what you are looking for

import java.util.Scanner;


public class QuizProgram {

     //Initializaions and Instantiations
    static Scanner cin = new Scanner(System.in);

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
           double score = 0;

          String[] Answers = new String[(int) NumberofQuestions];

         //loop through each string in the array and compare it to answers
         //for(int x = 0; x < NumberofQuestions; x++)
          int x=0;

              System.out.print("" + (x+1) + ". " + QandA[x][0] + "   "+QandA[x][1]);

The general trend would be to keep two variables for right and wrong choices. The structure should be like:

   int correctAnswers = 0;
    int wronganswers = 0;
    //scanner for input options
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Who sing this the song 'Locked Away':");
    //choose singer from these 4 options
    System.out.println("Choose 1 for R. City & Adam Levine's. \nChoose 2 for Justin Bieber.  \nChoose 3 for Selena Gomez. \nChoose 4 for Katy Perry.");
    song = scan.nextInt();
    if (song != 1) {
        //if select wrong options
        System.out.println("Your answer is incorrect  R. City & Adam Levine's is the right answer .");
        wronganswers++;
    } else {
        System.out.println("Congrate you answer is correct");
        song++;
        correctAnswers++;
    }

You can modify it as per your requirement.

What you want to achieve in do-while loop? What would be the condition to exit from that loop? — akhil_mittal, Oct 01 '15 at 04:13
