In first chemical OF2 has oxidation number +2 because fluorine is highly electro negative element it shift oxygen electron to his side. fluorine valency is 1. There was 2 F. They both withdraw one elctron from oxygen. That is reason OF2 oxidation number is +2.
Now, in next compound O2F2 has oxidation number +1 because there was 2 oxygen as in the figure shown above first O create bond to O than fluorine attach to both oxygen as in the fig. that is the reason O2F2 has oxidation number +1
