Answer: B. ∠K ≅ ∠N

Explanation:

We know that if two triangles are congruent , then the corresponding angles and sides are congruent by CPCTC.

Given:
\triangle {JKL}\cong\triangle{MNP}

Therefore , the corresponding angles and sides of
\triangle {JKL}\text{ and }\triangle{MNP} are congruent.

∠J corresponds ∠M

∠K corresponds ∠N

∠L corresponds ∠P

⇒ ∠J ≅ ∠M

∠K ≅ ∠N

∠L ≅ ∠P


\overline{JK}\cong\overline{MN}\\\overline{KL}\cong\overline{NP}\\\overlien{JL}\cong\overline{MP}

From the given options, the statement which must be true :-

∠K ≅ ∠N
