A car's odometer shows 72927 miles, a palindrome number. What will be the next palindrome number it shows?

Question

74047
73537
72937
73037

Answer 1

To find the next palindrome number after 72927, we need to check each of the given options sequentially to see which one is a palindrome.

1. 74047: This reads the same forwards and backwards, so it is a palindrome.
2. 73537: This also reads the same forwards and backwards, so it is a palindrome.
3. 72937: This does not read the same forwards and backwards (72937 vs 73927), so it is not a palindrome.
4. 73037: This also reads the same forwards and backwards, so it is a palindrome.

Now we have found three palindromes: 74047, 73537, and 73037.

The least of these values that is greater than 72927 is 73037.

Thus, the next palindrome number that the odometer will show is 73037.
