I have a few lines of text that I want to be aligned to look like this:

Here is the MWE:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{enumitem}

begin{document}

begin{description}[labelindent=1em ,labelwidth=1.2cm, labelsep*=1em, leftmargin =!, itemindent= 0pt, style = sameline]

item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$

item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this  methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?

end{description}

end{document}

which provides me the output:

As alternatives, I have also tried using hspace, tried eqnarray to no avail.

You can use for example leftmargin =3cm, to get what you want.

See the complete code

documentclass{article}



usepackage{enumitem}



begin{document}

begin{description}[%

  labelindent=1em,

  labelwidth=1.2cm, 

  labelsep*=1em, 

  leftmargin =3cm, % <==================================================

  itemindent= 0pt, 

  style = sameline

]

item[Input:] $a_1,ldots,a_m$

item[Output:] Can we do some operation on the given input to get some outcome using this  methodology and using $a_1,ldots,a_m$?

end{description}

end{document}
