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 not option C because it is a complimentary pair, right?
Anu said:

According to me it is a complementary pair. So the answer should be either or as both the conclusion are wrong. And as said by @Ram what statement says that diagram is only valid and no other possibility should be followed.
Ram said:

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.

I too agree to @Hari prasad. If consider second diagram some of the scooters are trucks. Its very basic if not the second option is correct then we can't judge the question with the second diagram.

In some questions we are considering both the statements i.e. either 1 or 2 but in some questions why we are neglecting even though there can be a possibility of such type. Can any one explain this to me?
