We use \"whom\" when we refer to the object of a sentence.
Conversely, use \"who\" when you refer to the subject of a sentence.

So, if the answer to the question being asked is \"him\", use \"whom\".

E.g.
Qn. To whom did you give the book?
Ans. I gave it to him.

Qn. Whom will you ask to help?
Ans. I will ask him.

Qn. Who broke the plate?
Ans. He broke it.

Qn. Who is responsible for this mess?
Ans. He is responsible.
