It should be neutralized to the point that the basic solution is completely dissolved into the acidic solution

Answer:

The strength of acidic solution will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we start adding a basic solution to an acidic solution, it starts neutralizing the acidic solution. This decreases the concentration of hydronium ions and thus the strength of the acidic solution decreases.

After addition of equal equivalents of a base in the acid, the acid gets completely neutralized and the strength reaches very low value.
