The alkene K is more stable than L as the double bond is stabilised by eight alpha hydrogen where as in alkene L, it is stabilised by two alpha hydrogen by hyperconjugation effect. Both are achiral alkenes and on hydrogenation both produce achiral alkenes. The given alkenes are having same molecular formula but different structural formula, hence, they are structural isomers.
