Ans: 500
Explanation:
Since the camel can take only 1000 apples at a time,it is not possible to reach destination(1000 miles) at one pass.so the optimal way to save more apples and reach destination is in 3 passes
In 1st pass:
camel starts with 1000 apples,reaches 250 miles(assume this point as A) and drops 500 apples there and returns back to start point.
After completion of 1st pass,pt A has 500 apples.
In 2nd pass:
camel starts with 1000 apples,reaches 500 miles(point B) and drops 250 apples there and returns back to POINT A & takes the left over 250 apples at A during first pass and finally reaches start point.
After completion of 2nd pass,pt A has has 250 apples & B has 250 apples.
In 3rd pass:
Camel starts with 1000 apples from start point,
when it reaches pt A,250 apples are consumed,so it loads 250 apples at pt A & continues it journey till point B,now 250 are consumed so it loads 250 apples at pt B & continues it journey till destination.
from B to destination -->500 are consumed out of 1000
so finally after reaching the destination it has 1000-500=500 apples.

if the camel consumes 1 apple/mile. Then he will consume 1000 apples for the 1000 miles.
Hence 3000-1000=2000
He will have 2000 apples at the destination.
