Answer 2

The result will be 290.

An Odometer displays the distance covered by the car in miles or kilometers.

In the question we are given that the car has 99940 written on the odometer.

This means that the car has travelled 99940 km/miles till now.

At the end the display changes to 00230.

This means that the car crossed 1000000, which used to be the max display and started to show the display at 0 again.

As after 0 it covered 230 miles/kms more, we get the total distance covered as 1000000-99940 + 230 = 290.
