Grammar question ( Kevin)

I have a grammar question.
I don't know when to use '' some...others'' and '' some ... the others''
This problem is always confusing.


In my viewpoint, "others " in "some...others" refers to parts of the rest while "the others" in "some...the others" is the whole part except for what "some" refers to.
For example:
a.Some people like basketball while others like football.  
b.There are 10 students in my class. Some of them are girls and the others are boys.
