As we learnt in

Rules for Oxidation Number -

The oxidation number of oxygen in most compounds is -2. There are two exceptions.
In peroxide (H2O2; Na2O2),  the oxidation number is -1.

- wherein

In superoxide e.g. KO2 its oxidation number is -1/2.

 

 CrO5 has butterfly structure having two peroxo bonds.

peroxo oxygen has - 1 oxidation state. Let oxidation state of Cr be x. 

CrO5 : x + 4( - 1) + 1 (-2) = 0 

\Rightarrow x = +6
