Dear Student,
CP of Coat = x then CP of Shirt = 7x/12
SP of Coat= x+y and SP of Shirt= 7x/12+ y where y is the amount of profit
Then ATQ,

19x/12 + 2y = 4000

Since, here two variables and one equation so you can find the value x only HIT and Trial Method.

HERE.....................CHOOSE ONLY THT OPTION WHICH GIVES LESS THAN 4000 FIGURE WHICH IS SP.
SO IF 1120 OPTION HAS GIVEN THEN................. 58.33 = 58 1/3 = 175/3
1120*300/175 = 1920
CP = 1920+1120 = 3040
SP = 4000
SO 4000>3040
OTHER OPTION WILL NOT SATISFIED SUCH A CONDITION......THT'S IT
