alkoxy-alkane is general nomenclature of ethers and in ethers you do not number the carbon next to oxygen as 1 necessarily,you look for the longest chain and then number accordingly.
Like the longest chain is of 3 carbons and O linkage is on 2nd Carbon so locant 2 is added in beginning and then the smaller group methyl as methoxy and main chain as propane.
Work hard on nomenclature,it is easy if you remember the rules and practise as much as you can,these days questions are asked with options having names of compounds and not formula,so even if you know the answer you'll be helpless if you don't know nomenclature.
