When it is mentioned that some scooters fly so surely some scooters do not fly.

Flying is thought of as an attribute for a scooter. So if some scooters fly, then only some scooters possess that attribute. The others clearly don't, so they don't fly.

Answer is 'B'.
If all scooters fly then what is the significance of the sentence "Some scooters fly".
If "Some scooters fly", definitely others don't fly.
If all scooters fly then what is the significance of the sentence "Some scooters fly".
If "Some scooters fly", definitely others don't fly.

If it is resolved using Venn diagrams, then scooter and fly overlap/intersect. since no other information is present, we can assume the non-overlapping regions to be complement of each other, i.e., some scooters do not fly.

Option D is correct in only condition if we follow that neither truck nor scooter can fly, no need to follow any chart or pie diagrams.

Yea I think it should be B because it clearly says that "some" scooters fly so that obviously means that some scooters do not fly.
