Answer / Mohd Kashif Zaidi

The family's current daal expenditure is: 20 * kilograms_of_daal. Last month, the expenditure was: 16 * kilograms_of_daal. The difference in expenditures is: (20 - 16) * kilograms_of_daal = 4 * kilograms_of_daal. To keep the expenditure fixed, the family should reduce its daal consumption by 100 * (4 / 16) % = 100 * (1/4) % = 25%.
