Question

Identify the alternative which best explains the relation between the arguments mentioned below:

Arguments:

1. It is highly probable that every student of Law at University level would have done a course on principles of ethics and Rama being a student of law, in all probability, would have done a course on principles of ethics.

2. At University level, every faculty aims at a super specialty for which emphasis is laid upon structuring the curricula in such a way that every faculty is treated as a closed system so that no inter-disciplinary study is acceptable. Principles of ethics being essentially an integral part of philosophy most probably are out of any course on law.

Options

• Two arguments are mutually independent

• Two arguments are mutually supportive

• Two arguments are supplementary

• They are incompatible

Answer 1

They are incompatible

Explanation:

Argument 1 talks about a course in ethics in a Law University; Argument 2, on the other hand, says the same course is most probably out of any course of law. Hence, the statements are incompatible with each other.
