The correct answer is: 2
$$
\text { We have, }
$$



(i)
$$
\begin{aligned}
x y+4 x-5 y-20 & =0 \\
(x-5)(y+4) & =0
\end{aligned}
$$
(ii)
$$
\begin{aligned}
x y-5 x+4 y-20 & =0 \\
(x+4)(y-5) & =0
\end{aligned}
$$
Equation of diagonal $A C$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& y+4=x+4 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad x-y=0 \\
&
\end{aligned}
$$
Equation diagonal $B D$
$$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
y+4 & =-(x-5) \\
\Rightarrow & x+y-1 & =0
\end{array}
$$
Combined equation of diagonal are
$$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
(x-y)(x+y-1) & =0 \\
x^2-y^2-x+y & =0 \\
\therefore & k & =1, l=1
\end{array}
$$
Hence, $k+l=1+1=2$
