1-methoxypropane and 2-methoxypropane, positional isomerism or metamerism?

whether they show positional isomerism or metamerism or both.
If both is the answer then can a compound show different isomerism.

Well I would say they are positional isomers.

Hmmm, I haven't heard the term metamer in a very long time. Is it still in use?

But by my understanding, both descriptions would apply to this pair of compounds.
