I have asked three questions to/of him?

Which preposition is correct in this sentence?

I think, "to" is correct.

Please help me.

I don't think so.

'of' is the correct one.

<EX>
I ask him a question. = I ask a question of him.
I gave him a book. = I gave a book to him.
I brought him some money. = I brought some momey to him.
I bought him a cake. = I bought a cake for him.
