Answer
Soln:
Add blue litmus solution and then red litmus solution for the test tubes containing sugar solution, baking soda solution, tamarind solution, salt solution. One can observe the colour changes to find the nature of each of them. It is as follows.
Sugar and salt solution is neutral as there is no colour change
Baking soda turns red litmus to blue and it is a basic solution.
Tamarind solution turns blue litmus to red and it is acidic in nature
