So, we have \(mn<0\) and \(\dfrac{k}{m}+\dfrac{l}{n} < mn,\)

From \(\dfrac{k}{m}+\dfrac{l}{n} < mn,\)

\(\dfrac{kn + ml}{mn} < mn,\); taking LCM

Multiplying the inequality by \(mn\)

\(kn + ml > (mn)^2\); note the sign reversal of the inequality. Since \(mn\) is a negative quantity, its multiplication will reverse the sign.

Correct answer: C

Hope this helps!
