Interesting, How did You get that :
"The command "area 49 range <whatever>" creates area 49 LSAs on the router
and this is 
the purpose of "area 49" command" ???
I never heard about such interpretation of this command and I always thought
that MAIN and only purpose 
of "area range" - to configure route aggregation on the ABRs and/or to
filter inter-area routes 
(in case when "not-advertise" on that end)
Anyway it's true - "area X range network mask"  creates LSA 1 (on ASBR) and
LSA 1 & 3 (on ABR).
However I don't not agree with your concslusion that LSA 5 (redistributed
static) has any relation to area X (49).
You don't need even to have any redistribution on ABR to generate LSA 1 & 3
if You put "area X range"
(I assume that no any connected interfaces belong to "X")
I don't see any evidence that backbone network on R4 belongs to area 49.
So technically speaking despite LSA 1 for area 49 is created, the
requirement to 
"put R4s backbone interface in OSPF area 49" is NOT completed.
I think this requirement is wrong. There is no way to put network into area
without "network" command
Thanks,
Dmitry
