When white litmus paper is dipped in potassium permanganate, it does not change color, as potassium permanganate is a neutral solution and does not affect the acidity or basicity of the litmus paper. White litmus paper is designed to indicate pH changes, turning red in acidic conditions and blue in basic conditions. Since potassium permanganate itself is not acidic or basic, the litmus paper remains unchanged.

As soap is alkaline in nature, it turns red litmus paper blue
When litmus paper is dipped in wood ash, it typically turns blue. This is because wood ash is alkaline (basic) in nature, which causes blue litmus paper to remain blue and red litmus paper to turn blue. The alkaline substances in wood ash, such as potassium carbonate, raise the pH of the solution.
When red litmus paper is dipped in distilled water, it will remain red, indicating that the water is neutral and does not change the acidity. Similarly, when blue litmus paper is dipped in the same distilled water, it will also remain blue. This observation confirms that distilled water has a neutral pH of around 7, which does not affect the litmus papers' color.
Litmus paper would turn blue when dipped in an aqueous solution of aspirin, indicating the solution is basic. aspirin is a weak acid and when dissolved in water, it undergoes hydrolysis releasing hydroxide ions which makes the solution basic.
If red litmus paper is dipped in potassium sulfate solution, there will be no significant change in color. Potassium sulfate is a neutral salt and does not exhibit any acidic or basic properties that would cause a color change in litmus paper.

Depends on the litmus paper. Red litmus will not turn but blue litmus will turn redish pink.
Litmus paper will turn blue in the presence of potassium hydroxide, indicating a basic solution.
Red litmus solution would turn blue if dipped in phosphoric acid, because phosphoric acid is acidic and will cause the litmus paper to change color from red to blue.
Blue litmus paper turns pink when dipped into a base. This is because the color change indicates a shift in pH level from acidic to basic.
As soap is alkaline in nature, it turns red litmus paper blue
Blue litmus paper remains blue when dipped in milk of magnesia because milk of magnesia is basic in nature.
A green-y yellow.
