The oxidation No. is '3'.
To calculate oxidation numbers, remember the 'yardstick' of oxygen at '-2' . There are a few exceptions to this, but work from '-2'.
S2O3
There being 3 x oxygen present, the the oxygen moiety is '3 x -2 = -6
So the sulphur moiety must be '+6', in order to maintain charge neutrality.
Hence 2 x S = 2 X x = 6
x = 3
So sulphur oxidation is '+3'.
