I have a question regarding Q39 in the ExamLab diagnostics exam.

What will be the result of the following code?



The answer is that code generates Compile time error.

I have verified it and this is correct since reference to tMeth is ambigous, both methods match.
How can one successfully call any of these methods? If its not possible why does the compiler allow this?

Thanks.

edit: Added code tags around code.

And please UseCodeTags to post the source code. That way the code stands out from the rest of the text and you need not worry about the code losing its formatting.
