Anis,

If you look at the task very well, you will discover that using "ip
summary-address eigrp 2001 ........." command as you did was not what the
task asked for. The task said

"Configure summary route...............................lo0, lo1 and lo2 as
one route in OSPF....." What you did above was summarizing the route into
eigrp 2001 and not into OSFP.

For OSPF, you have to use the 'summary-address .............." command on
the ASBR. just like the text you referred to suggested.

The reason you saw the 10.1.16.0/22 route on R1, was likely because you did
something else and I quote you :

"...and advertise it to R1 as summary route 10.1.16.0 <http://10.1.16.0>
NM-255.255.252.0"

You see now that, it was not the eigrp summary-address that actually put
your /22 routes into R1's routing table but the advertisement you did above.
So, you did not meet the requirment for the task which require the use the
"summary-address..." command on the ASBR.
