The given answer is right. The option B could be correct if the statement is "some scooter's are trucks Posssible". So if 'possible' word comes then conclusion 2 follows.

The second diagram is for possibilities.
The second statement tells the possibility. And in the question given direct statement. So it is false. Option D is correct.

Is there any use of the second diagram. Because in every question in which two diagrams are shown but the are considering only the first one to solve the question.

Well, as far as I understand, if there is NO conclusion is given, you have to consider only 1st diagram, this is how they derived answers for all the questions.

1. If we take the 2nd diagram then option B is correct.
2. If we take the general scenario of syllogism then option D is correct.

If we reversed all and some then we get (some+all) =some; now conclusion is some trucks are scooters. It is clear that some scooter are trucks.

Why can't statement 1?
The diagram can be drawn in another way too.
All truck circle can be drawn in common space of scooters and flies.

Though we are not sure, there is a possibility that trucks and scooters may coinside. So I think option 2 can also be an answer for this.
