This is a combinations question. The answer is C(10,8), the number of combinations of 10 things taken 8 at a time, which also equals the number of combinations of 10 things taken 2 at a time. You can imagine why these are the same: choosing 8 questions to answer out of ten is the same thing as not choosing 2 questions to answer out of ten. C(10,2) = (10*9)/(2*1) = 45. There are 45 different choices the student can make of which eight questions to answer.

In a multiple choice test what is the probability of getting two answers correct?

That depends on how many questions there are, how many choices are listed for each question, and whether any obviously-stupid answers are included among the choices. If any of those factors changes, then the probability changes. One thing we can guarantee, however, even without knowing any of these factors: If you have studied the subject and know the material, then your probability of getting correct answers increases dramatically.

In a twenty question true false examination a student must achieve eight correct answers to pass if student answers randomly what is the probability that student will fail?

The probability this student will fail is the same as the probability that some other student will flip a fair coin 20 times and get less than 8 heads, i.e., more than 12 tails. There are 2^20 possible different-looking sequences of 20 coinflips, which we assume all have equal probability. Of those sequences, 1 has no heads at all, 20 have exactly 1 head, 190 have exactly 2 heads, ... and 77520 have exactly 7 heads. So we sum up all those possible ways to fail and we get ... ... ... I'm assuming that the student answers randomly, flipping a fair (50:50) coin on each question to choose "true" or "false". In that special case, it doesn't matter how many of those twenty questions are true or how many are false. (If the student answers randomly by flipping an unfair coin, say a 25:75 coin, then it does matter how many of those questions are true -- I'll let you figure that one out).
