Answer 1

Thanks a lot Bruno Vandekerkhove for make a plugin for solve this problem. 

I am not a professional developer but i try to solve the problem another way.

first time i clone and add a page /qa-include/app/q-list.php to /qa-include/app/a-q-list.php

after that i add

                if($fields['raw']['categoryid'] != 66)
                {
                $qa_content['q_list']['qs'][] = $fields;
                }

by replace 

               $qa_content['q_list']['qs'][] = $fields;

on    /qa-include/app/a-q-list.php

after that i edit activity page /qa-include/pages/activity.php

require_once QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'app/q-list.php'; to require_once QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'app/a-q-list.php';

Then I able to remove my category question from the activity page. My category id was 66

It is not a good way
1. It is a core hack- requires change for every core update, possible issue with plugins.
2. It is actually hiding the question from the list- suppose 20 questions are from category 66 I suppose the activity page will be mostly empty

Happy to say and tell that i am not professional. I am on study mode. This is core hack but it works and i check that activity page shows the number of questions that i set on /admin/lists
Thanks for your comment :)

oh, you mean even after hiding some questions, the number of questions is correct on the Activity page? Then I have to see the page code, because on other question listings that is not the case, may be for activity it is different.
