Explanation:

Let the cost price of 1 jacket = Rs x, cost price of 1 jeans = Rs y
2x + 3y = 3800....1
3x + 2y = 3700....2
(Equation 1) × 3 – (Equation 2) × 2
y = 800
x = 700
Cost price of 1 jacket = Rs 700, cost price of 1 jeans = Rs 800
Ratio of the selling price,
= 700 × 114% : 800 × 110%
= 399 : 440
