The color of Reena's dress changed red after applying detergent because the food that fell on her might have contained Turmeric.

Explanation:

  • Turmeric is a natural indicator to test if a solution is acidic or basic in nature. It is extensively used in food in India.
  • When Turmeric is added to a basic solution or comes in contact to a base, its color changes from yellow to red.
  • Similarly, Reena's food had contained turmeric which accidentally fell on her dress. While applying detergent which is basic on the food stain on her dress, it turned red as soon as detergent came in contact with turmeric.
