Hanuman, We don't "make a question", nor do we "do a question". We "answer" a question. So the better sentence is "Only a few students can answer it".

Hello Teachers!
Actually, I wanted to know the usage of "make it"(succeed), For that I framed the same question myself.
Would you please give a few examples that show the the usage of "make it".
Thanks.
