Please see whether the example below meets your needs:

  \documentclass[a4paper]{article}
  \usepackage[defblank]{paralist}



  \newenvironment{problist}{%
     \renewcommand{\theenumii}{\arabic{enumii}}
     \begin{asparablank}}%
     {\end{asparablank}}


   \begin{document}

   We give below some exercises to test your understanding of the
   concepts discussed.
   \begin{problist}
   \item \noindent\textbf{Practical Exercises}\\[2pt]
     These problems suggest various applications of the concepts 
     \begin{enumerate}
     \item The first problem
     \item The second problem
     \end{enumerate}
  \item \noindent\textbf{Theoretical Exercises}\\[2pt]
    These problems indicate theoretical extensions of the concepts 
    \begin{enumerate}
    \item The first problem
    \item The second problem
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{problist}
