[!TLDR]

The SR flip-flop has a forbidden state (S = R = 1); the JK flip-flop removes it by defining J = K = 1 as the toggle (complement) condition.

The JK flip-flop is essentially an improved SR flip-flop, so the key difference lies in how each treats the "both inputs 1" condition.

SR flip-flop: it has a Set input S and a Reset input R. For S = 0, R = 0 it holds (no change); S = 1, R = 0 sets (Q=1)(Q = 1); S = 0, R = 1 resets (Q=0)(Q = 0); but S = 1, R = 1 is forbidden/invalid because both outputs try to go the same way and the resulting state is indeterminate (race). …
