I think answer will be option E. Because all buildngs are chalks n all chalks are buildngs both are same na. Can anyone sugest me.

I think answer will be option A, because if you observe ven diagram, it is clear that only some part of chalks represents buildings. So, conclusion 2 is not true.
Hope you can understand.

All buildings are chalks doesn't mean all chalks are buildings right?

All building are chalk can't be possible,and their is no relation between building & truck that's why conclusion-1 is followed.

All building are chalk but it is not mentioned that all chalk is building for eg. We say all apples are fruit but we know that all fruits are not apple. So 2 is not. And if we come to the 1st one building and has no relation with toffee given so that's why no building is toffee.

Yes only 1 follow it is clear when you draw Venn diagram and friends if all the buildings are chalks it doesn't mean that all chalks are buildings because converse is not true in this case.
