This problem seems a little shifty. It makes sense how you can sort it out but some of the problems wording is up for interpretation.
E.g Veron doesn't vacuum and doesn't do his task on Tuesday could be seen two ways. 1 that his task is Tuesday but he just didn't do it, or 2 his task isn't on Tuesday and doesn't vacuum. So if someone was to be more literal with the interpretation that could be a problem.

Terry will not do vacuuming-given.
He will not do dusting as sally does it.
He will not do mopping and laundry as it is done on Thursday and Friday respectively.
(Terry does his work only on Wednesday).
So Terry does sweeping.
He will not do dusting as sally does it.
He will not do mopping and laundry as it is done on Thursday and Friday respectively.
(Terry does his work only on Wednesday).
So Terry does sweeping.

@Aditya.
The question has 3 variables so, we need 3 tables with one variable against the other on each table. eg: names vs tasks, tasks vs days, names vs days.
