KMnO4 decomposes on heating at 513 K to form O2 along with
  1. MnO2& K2O2
  2. K2MnO4&Mn
  3. Mn&KO2
  4. K2MnO4&MnO2

Solution

Potassium permanganate decomposes when heated, the oxidation state of manganese changes as the oxidation state of KMnO4 is +7 decomposes to potassium manganate which oxidation state is +6 and manganese dioxide its oxidation state is +4.

It is a redox reaction in which Mn which undergo both oxidation and reduction such type of reaction is known as a disproportionation reaction.
