Oxidation number of Hydrogen is +1
Oxidation number of Oxygen is -2.
(i) Oxidation number of sulphur in H2S.
Let the oxidation number of S be x.
2 (+1) + x = 0
x = -2
Hence, the oxidation number of S in H2S = -2

(ii) Oxidation state of S in H2SO4
Let the oxidation state of S be X
2 (+1) + X + 4(-2) = 0
X = +6
Hence, the oxidation state of Sulphur in H2SO4 is +6.


hope its helps
