@ I M Possible,

Set ones cap: To attract a person of opposite sex
the sentence will be, she failed to set (her) cap at Salman because he is a sophisticated person

Throw someone out: Expel someone (unceremoniously)
He throws his child out because of his anger.

Your honour is requested to please avoid the minor mistakes of spell and grammar.
