Both are correct, but Duolingo decides it wants you to use the plural form with Vous
"You live alone?" is different than "Are you living alone?". They are in different question formats.
For the first one, someone might have just mentioned that they have no one else living in their house. You then might say, "You live alone?", implying you want to hear more about it.
For the second one, you'd be asking if they live alone, out of your own curiosity.
English makes that distinction but French does not. It sees "you live alone" and "you are living alone" as the same sentence.

As this is Vous ( formal or plural) could you not use seules as it is not clear how many people are being spoken to?
Yes, you can have "seul" (masc. sing), "seule" (fem. sing), "seuls" (masc. plur) or "seules" (fem. plur).
Thanks good to know that this time I was actually right for once despite being marked down.
I put in Vivez vous seules, as it had the plural when i came across this sentence before, but this time i got it wrong? Confused.com?
how do i say this in french if i want to use habitez? vous habitez vouz chez? it think i`m wrong though...
"Mark all correct translations" gave me the option "Are you alive alone?" and didn't count it as correct when I marked it. Mean! :P
"Vivez-vous seules" is correct and should be accepted. It would sound exactly the same as "Vivez-vous seul" (I got this phrase in a listening question) and is grammatically correct when addressed to a group of women. I have reported.
you live alone and I die alone, duolingo is the sanctuary for wandering lonely souls
This audio sounds like "pivez-vous" to me. I put it and Duolingo gave me credit anyway hah.
