we know that

Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to
90°, while supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to
180°.

So

Statements

case 1) GNJ is complementary to JNK

Is False

Angle GNJ is
90 degrees and angle JNK is
90 degrees. The sum of the angles GNJ and JNK is
180 degrees. Therefore, GNJ is not complemetary to JNK.


angle\ GNJ+angle\ JNK=180\ degrees

GNJ is supplementary to JNK, not complementary

case 2) MNL is complementary to KNL

Is True

The sum of angles MNL and KNL is MNK which is
90 degrees. Therefore, MNL is complementary to GNJ.


angle\ MNL+angle\ KNL=90\ degrees

MNL is complementary to KNL

case 3) MNG is complementary to GNJ

Is False

Angle MNG is
90 degrees and angle GNJ is
90 degrees. The sum of the angles MNG and GNJ is
180 degrees. Therefore, MNG is not complemetary to GNJ.


angle\ MNG+angle\ GNJ=180\ degrees

MNG is supplementary to GNJ, not complementary

case 4) KNJ is supplementary to MNL

Is False

Angle KNJ is
90 degrees and angle MNL is less than
90 degrees. The sum of the angles KNJ and MNL is less than
180 degrees. Therefore, KNJ is not supplementary to MNL


angle\ KNJ+angle\ MNL < 180\ degrees

case 5) GNM is supplementary to JNK

Is True

Angle GNM is
90 degrees and angle JNK is
90 degrees. The sum of the angles GNM and JNK is
180 degrees. Therefore, GNM is supplementary to JNK.


angle\ GNM+angle\ JNK = 180\ degrees

GNM is supplementary to JNK

therefore

the answer is

MNL is complementary to KNL

GNM is supplementary to JNK
