Solution

If the red litmus added to the base it will change into blue. Litmus paper is an indicator that determines whether a substance is basic or acidic. Acid turn blue litmus to red and bases turn red litmus to blue. It does not matter whether the red litmus is fresh or it is first blue and then becomes red in acidic medium.
