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.

If all buildings are chalks then the reverse condition is also possible, I mean all chalks can be buildings.

Option E is correct. All buildings are chalks is a statement. No building is a toffee. It has been clearly explained in the Venn diagram.

Option E is correct. If all A are B, then all B is A. Or simply apply symmetry property i.e. if A = B then B = A.

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.
