According to the diagrams, some flies are may or may not be scooters, if we go through the exclusive rules,
~ statement 1 is universal +ve & statement 2 is particular +ve.
~ A/c to conclusion 2 we can converse the 2nd statement as some files are scooters.
~ Then when we draw the conclusion, it will be particular +ve. So answer is B.
