Purchase cost = 600/1500= 
<gadget id="calculator">600/1500</gadget>
<output>2/5 = around 0.4</output>
$ 0.4   25% above the cost per head= (125/100)*0.4= 
<gadget id="calculator">(125/100)*0.4</gadget>
<output>0.5</output>
$ 0.5   2/3 of the heads were sold means 1/3*1500= 
<gadget id="calculator">1/3*1500</gadget>
<output>500</output>
500 ,Selling amount for 500 cabbage= 500 * 0.5= 
<gadget id="calculator">500 * 0.5</gadget>
<output>250</output>
$ 250   Remaining were sold at a price equal to 10% less than the price each head sold for on the day before i.e , (95/100)*0.5= $ 0.475   Hence selling cost for the remaining cabbage = 1000 * 0.475= 
<gadget id="calculator">1000 * 0.475</gadget>
<output>475</output>
$ 475   Total selling cost= 475 + 250= 
<gadget id="calculator">475 + 250</gadget>
<output>725</output>
$ 725   Gross profit= $ 725 - $ 600 = $ 125   Hence Answer is d $125
