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.

While applying the ven diagram logic to solve these particular type of problems where diagram can be drawn by two ways never count the statement to be valid which is true for one diagram and false for another diagram. Always go for the statement which is valid for both the diagrams. :-).

If we make the circles for each A, B and C there are some intersections possible.
If there is a intersection of circles. This makes both statements follow.
May be this is not the right approach. Please suggest the right way to do this.

If we apply the conclusive rules to the given problem, we get first statement as Universal positive (UP), second statement is Particular positive.
Let truck=A, flies=B, scooters=C.
Consider 2nd statement: some scooters are flies = some flies are scooters.
Then A---->B, B---->C
Here 1st statement= Universal positive (UP).
2nd statement=Particular positive (PP).
So UP+PP= no conclusion.(for all cases).
Option D is correct.
Let truck=A, flies=B, scooters=C.
Consider 2nd statement: some scooters are flies = some flies are scooters.
Then A---->B, B---->C
Here 1st statement= Universal positive (UP).
2nd statement=Particular positive (PP).
So UP+PP= no conclusion.(for all cases).
Option D is correct.

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.

The given answer is correct because here the middle term is not distributed at least once so no conclusion follows.
