Mg ribbion was heated in air then the powder obtained was dissolved in water,If you will add red litmus to it what change will occur ?

The resulting solution would turn the red litmus blue. This is due to the fact that metal oxides are basic in nature. 
As Mg ribbon on burning produces white ash of MgO, which is a metal oxide and hence turns red litmus to blue.
