• 2SAREES+4SHIRT=1600.....(1)
  1 SARESS+6 SHIRT=1600......(2)
  NOW
  (2)*2
  2SARESS+12SHIRT=3200
  2 SARESS+4 SHIRT=1600
  SHIRT =200
  12 SHIRT=2400

• let the price of saree and shirt are x and y respectively.
  On this basis 2x+4y=1600 and 1x+6y=1600
  on solving y=200, x=400 so cost of 12 shirts = 12*400 = 4800

• 2 saree + 4 shirts= 1600---eq 1
  1 saree + 6 shirts = 1600 ---> eq 2
  on equating eq2--> 1 saree= 1600- 6 shirts -- say eq3
  On substituting eq3 in eq1
  2(1600- 6 shirt) +4 shirt= 1600
  => 3200 - 12shirts +4 shirts= 1600
  => 8 shirts= 3200-1600
  Therefore, 1 shirt= 200
  so, 12 shirts= 200x12= 2400
