I think option D is correct. Only all buildings are chalks, not all the chalks are building, So conclusion 2 is false. For conclusion 1 no building is toffee is wrong because there are also chalks and buildings inside the chalks in the ven diagram, so no chalk is toffee is right but no building is toffee is wrong.
So, the answer is option D clearly.
So, the answer is option D clearly.

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.

Is there any relation (see the diagram) between toffee and buildings? No, not at all. So, conclusion: 1 is true. Now, given that, all buildings are chalks, not all chalks are buildings. So, conlusion: 2 is wrong. Therefore, Option A is right.

I agree with D because for conclusion 2 it is already wrong with the basic Venn diagram provided. And for conclusion 1 it is a 'NO'conclusion that is we can draw another possible Venn diagram against No Toffee is Building. Thus it is D.

I think 1 is correct as given no chalk is toffee and we see buildings are chalks so no building is toffee.
And for conclusion 2 it's wrong as all buildings are chalk but all chalk can't be buildings.
And for conclusion 2 it's wrong as all buildings are chalk but all chalk can't be buildings.

I think option D is correct because conclusion may be correct may not be correct but we can't say it's definitely true. So we can't say any conclusion is true. Think in this way and help me out.

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.

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.
Hope you can understand.

I think answer is correct. In statement already mentioned that no chalk is toffee & since buildings comes inside chalk. So we can say conclusion 1 follows.
