valid reason for being interested in BOTH IBD and S&T

if someone were to ask me in an interview why I have applied to both S&T and IBD, and how can i reconcile my interests in 2 seemingly disparate divisions, can I say the following in response : The type of role I'm interested in within IBD is not too different from the type of role im interested in S&T...i'm interested in lev fin in IBD and i'm also attracted to fundamental credit trading/research in S&T, they;re not that different since a good part of the role of an analyst in both divisions involve looking at how creditworthy companies are etc both are fundamental/financial statement analysis based bla bla....would this be a plausible answer from someone who is interviewing for summer analyst positions??
