You will not be able to do this with autonumbering (at least not without
using text boxes or frames). If you are willing to number questions
manually, then you can set up a style with a hanging indent and an extra
tab, as follows:

1. Set a negative left indent (0.38" to 0.5") to allow the paragraph to
begin outside the margin.

2. Set a right-aligned tab stop at about 0.13" (that is, 0.13" to the right
of the 0 mark on the ruler).

3. Set the hanging indent (with its associated tab stop) at 0.25".

To create your paragraph, type the point value, tab once, type the number
and period, tab again and type the question. If you make this style the
Level 1 style of an outline-numbered list (with number style set to
"(none)") and the multiple-choice answer style Level 2, set to restart after
Level 1, with a, b, c number style, then your answers will be autonumbered
and restart after each question.

A half-inch negative indent will allow room (barely) for two-digit point
values and three-digit question numbers, plenty of room for anything less.

I am constructing a test.
1. I would like the mark value in the left margin (can be set through
Paragraph Formatting)
2. Begin question on same line using a numbered bulleted list
3. Next lines proved multiple choice options.

Problem: Numbered bullet in 2. above defaults to the left of my mark
scheme. I would like to have it appear as below.

( /5) 1. What is your name
a. abc
b. cde
c. fgh
d. lmo
