Suresh, The question and answer are correct.
Classful information does not carry the subnet mask in the update. Classless (like in RIP v2) routing protocols contain the subnet mask. That's the key to answering this question.

"The routing updates should conatin classful subnet mask information using an older version of the protocol" The souliton to this problem is to configure RIP version 1 as the routing protocl between the two routers. To me this question seems incorrect because subnet masks are not propagated in RIP version 1. I think question needs to be changed and must not inlcude version information. Thanks Suresh
