Thanks Guys For your response. The question which is not clear to me (thats a fundamental one) is even if the network statement under OSPF includes both the subnets, is it necessary to form a neighbour that the subnet mask should be the same on a broadcast medium like ethernet considering the fact that both the routers responded to 224.0.0.5 and the network command included both the subnet.
For a router even if they are on diff subnets but on the same major net they can ping each other and if u do a sh ip route its says directly connected, so applying the same logic to OSPF should they form neighbours. In short , should the hello packet contain the same subnet mask to form a nighbour for broadcast OSPF network.
