You have to use nested repeater or DataList
First DataList is your answer list
then nest your question list inside that

example:

<%#Eval("Answercolunmname")%>

<%#Eval("Questions")%>

C#

protected Void your_eventname(object sender,DatalistItemEventArgs e)
{

Datalist list = e.Item.FindControl("dlquestion") as Datalist ;
list .DataSource = questionlist;
list .DataBind();
}

If i am reading your question correctly I think the answer would be a datalist within your data list for each column that is a list
