Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

In triangle △JKL,


(JK)/(KL)=(30)/(50)=(3)/(5)

In triangle △MKN,


(MK)/(KN)=(15)/(25)=(3)/(5)

In triangle △JKL and △MKN


(JK)/(KL)=(MK)/(KN)


\angle JKL=\angle MKN (Vertically opposite angles)

Since two sides are proportional and an inclined angle is congruent, so by SAS theorem of similarity we get


\triangle JKL=\triangle MKN

Therefore option D is correct.
