Which two steps ensure that traffic to the provider flows through R2 while the network is working properly?

preferred gateway to reach the provider. R1 is the backup gateway. All link metrics are
equal. Which two steps ensure that traffic to the provider flows through R2 while the network
is working properly? (Choose two.)

    Option B is quite simple.
    Regarding option A, at first glace, it seems type 2 on R1 means only external cost is added and type 1 on R2 means internal (upto ASBR) and external both cost are added so initially it seems type 1 should be on R1 to get R2 path preferred.

    But theories say, We only compare cost between routes of the same type:
    10a Intra-Area
    10b Inter-Area
    150a Type 1 External
    150b Type 2 External

    But here it’s different type (type 1 and type 2), so always route selection happens in in sequence by intra-area, inter-area, type 1 external and then type 2 external.
