RIPv1 Summarisation

Hi,

I was just wondering about summarisation.
If RIPv1 is summarising what happens to variable metrics?

If the router which is sending the summary knows of 2 networks which all are different hops away 1, 2.

172.30.1.0 172.30.2.0 192.168.1.0
Router
Router
Router2
Router 1
Boundary

What will he send to Router 1?
I guess he will summarise to 172.30.0.0 but what metric? 1 or 2?

Cheers
