$\\FeC_{2}O_{4}+KMnO_{4}\rightarrow Fe^{+3}+CO_{2}+Mn^{2+}\\V.F=3\; \; \;\; \; \; V.F=5$

$\Rightarrow +3$ is the n=factor of $FeC_{2}O_{4}$ and not $Fe$

$\Rightarrow$ In this compound, carbon is in $+3$ oxidation state and $Fe$ is in $+2$ oxidation state.

$\Rightarrow$ In acidic medium , $Fe^{2+}$ is converted to $Fe^{+3}$ and $C_{2}O_{4}^{2-}$ is converted to $CO_{2}$ . So oxidation number of carbon changes from $+3\; to\; +4.$ As, there are two carbon atoms, the net change in $O.$ Number is $+2$ and adding to this, the increase in oxidation state of iron, the final increase in $O.$ Number is $+3$ .
