In NO-
We know that valency of oxygen (O)is 2
let valency of N be x
so, x-2=0
x=2
similarly
In N2O
2x-2=0
x=2/2
x=1
In NO2
x-2×2=0
x-4=0
x=4
hoping it may help u

Explanation:
We know the valency of oxygen is (-2).
Let the valency of nitrogen is X.
In NO :
X +{ 1× (-2)} = 0
X=+2
In NO2 :
X+{2×(-2)}=0
X=+4
In N2O:
(2×X)+{ 1×(-2)}=0
Hence X=+1
Therefore, Oxidation state of nitrogen in NO is +2 ,in NO2 is +4 and in N2O is +1 .
