if this was a lab question, given the addresses below with a question asking
you to "summarize to the shortest possible mask', wouldn't you indeed want
to make it 130.10.32.0 255.255.252.0 as Tim stated? That would be the
shortest mask while being able to ping those two subnets. The /27 mask seems
way too long...you could have just made it a /24 summary and have it work!

Long and short, if I see a question saying 'summarize to the shortest mask'
I am not going to be concerned with keeping a native 'b' address on a a 'c'
boundary, and am strictly going to be looking for the shortest mask possible
that allows functionality.
