Bus drop him off 64 miles far from the school.

Explanation:

Total distance traveled by Nigel from Home to school each day = 312 miles

Distance from bus stop to his home = 14 miles

Distance traveled by Nigel on the city bus = 234 miles.

Distance from bus drop off position to school = X miles

We have Total distance traveled by Nigel = 14+234+X = 248+X

Equating both total distances

248+X = 312

X = 64 miles.

So bus drop him off 64 miles far from the school.
