Sf and Mostager. Please explain your logic
if intra-area routes are prefered over inter-area routes, then R2 will prefer the intra-area route from R4 as opposed to R1. Even considering the metrics from R2 to R4 to R1 is 10 (5+5) compared to metric directly from R2 to Ra (20)
So using both logics, I believe answer A is correct.
unless someone can explain otherwise
Thanks

B is the correct answer
Please see RFC 2328 below and how it defines intra-area path.
RFC 2328 section 11
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2328.txt
Path-type
There are four possible types of paths used to route traffic to
the destination, listed here in decreasing order of preference:
intra-area, inter-area, type 1 external or type 2 external.
Intra-area paths indicate destinations belonging to one of the
router’s attached areas. Inter-area paths are paths to
destinations in other OSPF areas. These are discovered through
the examination of received summary-LSAs. AS external paths are
paths to destinations external to the AS. These are detected
through the examination of received AS-external-LSAs.
If intra area paths are destinations belonging to one of the routers attached areas, then since R2 is attached to area 0 and area 1, then the path from R2 to R1 is an intra-area path. And the route from R1 advertised through R4 is coming in as LSA 3 (summary LSA) hence becomes an inter-area path.
This is how answer B becomes correct.
A = 5+5+5+5 = 20
B = 5+5+20 = 30
Correct is A?
