The oxide of magnesium, when dissolved in water, forms magnesium hydroxide, which is a base. Therefore, it will turn red litmus paper blue.
The oxide of aluminium, when dissolved in water, forms aluminium hydroxide, which is also a base. Therefore, it will also turn red litmus paper blue.

Magnesium oxide (MgO):
When dissolved in water, magnesium oxide forms magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), which is a strong base. Therefore, it will turn litmus paper blue.
Aluminium oxide (Al2O3):
Aluminium oxide is amphoteric, meaning it can react with both acids and bases. However, when dissolved in water alone, it forms a weakly acidic solution of aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH)3). This solution will turn litmus paper red.
