★ PHENOMENON ★

basic solutions turn red litmus blue the salt of a weak acid and strong base gives a basic solution so when X salt is the salt of a weak acid and a strong base

★ EXPLAINATION ★

when sodium carbonate a salt of weak acid and strong base is dissolved in water it gets hydrolysed and form sodium hydroxide and carbonic acid

Answer 2

Salt X is like sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, which is made from a strong base and a weak acid. On dissolving in water, salt X gets hydrolysed to form some strong base and some weak acid. The strong base thus formed makes the solution alkaline which turns red litmus blue.
