Ok its a easy Q.
Both Na and K are very reactive metals.
They react with O2 in air and starts burning with flames. And since kerosene is non polor liquid (neutral) so it dont react with those metals.

Sodium and potassium are kept in kerosene oil because kerosene oil contain no water and protect these metals from being exposed to any moisture in the air that would cause these metals to react potentially , and violently
