I believe the question is not stated correctly:  it talks of two triangles, JKN and MKL; the only common POINT is K.  To say the angle(s) K are equal/congruent, due to identity/reflexive property, is not necessarily true ... it does not state anywhere that angle NKJ is equal to angle LKM!
 
I believe something was transposed in the "Given"!!
