How do I use enumeration arrayed as in the image enter image description here

Is this what you would like to do?

This also shows no research effort... :( [tag:do-this-for-me] — Werner, Jul 25 '14 at 18:18
@Werner: it's not that easy, since only the shortlst and multenum packages can handle correctly regularly spaced horizontal numbering. — Bernard, Jul 25 '14 at 18:55
Use you own counter (or just enter the number directly) and use a tabular. — John Kormylo, Jul 25 '14 at 19:28
egreg has many of these, here is an example http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/98392/21930. — Manuel, Jul 25 '14 at 19:47
@Bernard That just means it is not that easy to provide an answer. It does not mean it would be that hard to demonstrate some effort in the question! — cfr, Jul 25 '14 at 20:49
@cfr: Yes but usually one takes a look at packages that more or less tackle similar situations, and if none are found… — Bernard, Jul 25 '14 at 21:36
@Bernard But providing a framework document even with just a some content as a regular enumerate so people don't have to start from scratch is a courtesy to those one is asking to help, whether or not it is possible to layout the content in anything like the desired way. That is, a basic MWE would count as making an effort in the minimal sense I had in mind. — cfr, Jul 25 '14 at 22:18
@scaramouche Thanks for the code. I think this one will work for me well enough. But is there any generalization of this code such as 'triplecol' or 'quadra...'? — le4m, Jul 26 '14 at 18:02
Another solutions is to use \makebox[0.49\textwidth]{1. $a=b$} etc. — John Kormylo, Jul 26 '14 at 18:38

Using the tasks package (that was part of exsheets, but has become a standalone package), you can obtain something that's pretty close to the picture:

\documentclass[twoside, a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage[x11names]{xcolor}
\colorlet{rulecolour}{CadetBlue2}
\usepackage{fourier}

\usepackage{mathtools}
\DeclarePairedDelimiter{\abs}{\lvert}{\rvert}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage[italic]{esdiff}
\newcommand\der{\diff{\hphantom{x}}{x}}
\usepackage[condensed]{cabin}
\usepackage[margin = 2.25cm, noheadfoot, nomarginpar]{geometry}

\usepackage{tasks}

\settasks{counter-format = tsk[1]., label-offset =0.6667em, label-align = right, item-indent = 1.5em}%
\pagestyle{plain}

\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
%
\titleformat{name=\section}[hang]{\sffamily\bfseries\large}{\thesection}{1em}{\lsstyle\MakeUppercase{#1}}[{\color{rulecolour}\titlerule[1.2pt]}]%
\titleformat{name=\section, numberless}[hang]{\sffamily\bfseries\large}{}{0em}{\lsstyle\enspace \MakeUppercase{#1}}[{\color{rulecolour}\titlerule[1.2pt]}]%
\titlespacing*{\section}{0em}{2\baselineskip}{1.5\baselineskip}


\titleformat{name=\subsection}[hang]{\sffamily\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{\lsstyle\color{rulecolour}#1}
\titleformat{name=\subsection, numberless}[hang]{\sffamily\bfseries}{}{0em}{\lsstyle\color{rulecolour}#1}
\titlespacing*{\subsection}{0em}{1.5\baselineskip}{.5\baselineskip}

\newcommand\explan[1]{\quad\footnotesize(#1)}
