In the anions of oxyacids, oxygen is always assigned an oxidation number of -2. Therefore, in an MnO4-1 anion, manganese must have an oxidation number of +7 to achieve electrical balance for the anion. (There is no neutral compound with the formula MnO4.)
K has an oxidation number of +1 O has an oxidation number of (-2) x 4 So... the oxidation number for Mn is whatever is needed to make 1-8 equal to zero. Therefore, the oxidation number for Mn is +7
The oxidation number of manganese in KMnO4 is 7+.
O.S. of Mn = +7 O.S. of O = -2 O.N. of cpd = -1
I assume you mean the oxidation number of Mn in the permanganate ion , MnO4- The sum of the oxidation numbers is the charge on a polyatomic ion so Mn has an oxidation number of +7 as each O is assigned -2.

manganese is a metal element. It shows +4 in Mno4 ompouund.

The oxidation number of an element depend on another element it react with to form a compound e.g manganese(iv)oxide mno4 the oxidation number of oxygen there is four while the oxidation number of manganse is 7 in most radox reaction the oxidation number of oxygen is usually 4 when writing the full equation
The oxidation number determines how much an element is oxidated, so the oxidation number of...1. elements is always 0.2. of simple ions is always the charge, e.g. in Cu2+ the oxidation number of copper is +2.3. hydrogen is usually +1, oxygen usually -2, alkali metals +1, etc.In molecules without a charge, the sum of the oxidation numbers has to be 0. This way you can calculate the oxidation number of its compounds. For example in KMnO4, the oxidation number of oxygen is -2, of K is +1, so if the sum is zero then the oxidation number of Mn has to be +7.In complex ions (OH-, MnO4-, ...) the sum of the oxidation numbers has to be the charge of the ion. (so in OH- and MnO4- it's -1).
First O has an oxidation number of -2; K will an oxidation number of +1 as it is an alkali metal. Therfore the Mn is +6. note that while the manganate ion exists, the question may relate to the permanganate ion MnO4-, so KMnO4, where Mn has oxidation number of +7
+7 for Mn -2 for each O
There is no oxidation number because oxidation number only applies to compounds with oxygen like MnO4 2- in which Mn has an oxidation number of 6
