The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

F1 Savita SSC 13-12-24 D27

Conclusions:

I) No picture is a frame → Does not follow (As no picture is an album and all albums are frames. As no direct relation is given between picture and frame, therefore it is false.)

II) Some pictures are portraits → Does not follow (As no picture is an album, all albums are frames and some frames are portraits. So it is possible but not definite)

∴ Here, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"
