Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

From the triangles given in the picture,

Since, JK ≅ KL [Given]

JM ≅ ML [Given]

KM ≅ KM [Reflexive property of congruence]

ΔJMK ≅ ΔLMK [SSS property of congruence]

Therefore, ∠JKM ≅ ∠LKM [CPCTC]

(2x + 5) = (3x - 6)

3x - 2x = 5 + 6

x = 11

m∠JKL = m∠JKM + m∠LKM

= (2x + 5) + (3x - 6)

= 5x - 1

= 5(11) - 1

= 54

Option (1) will be the answer.
