Detailed Solution

Let us assume oxidation numbers of Mn in K2MnO4 is X

Oxidation number of potassium and oxygen are +1 and -2 respectively 2(1)+X+4(-2)=0

2+X-8=0

X-6=0; X=+6

Let us assume oxidation numbers of Mn in K3Mn(CN)6 is X

Oxidation number of potassium and cyanide are +1 and -1 respectively 3(1)+x+6(-1)=0

3+x-6=0

X-3=0; X=+3, The oxidation numbers of Mn in K3Mn(CN)6 is +3
