Solution

Let us look at the half reactions i.e. oxidation and reduction separately.
Oxidation:
$S_{8} \to S_{2} O_{3}^{2 -}$
$S_{8} + 24 O H^{-} \to 4 S_{2} O_{3}^{2 -} + 12 H_{2} O + 16 e^{-} \dots . (1)$
Reduction:
$S_{8} \to S^{2 -}$
$S_{8} + 16 e^{-} \to 8 S^{2 -}$ .......(2)
Adding both the reactions (1) and (2),
$2 S_{8} + 24 O H^{-} \to 4 S_{2} O_{3}^{2 -} + 8 S^{2 -} + 12 H_{2} O$
Dividing the whole equation by 2,
$S_{8} + 12 O H^{-} \to 2 S_{2} O_{3}^{2 -} + 4 S^{2 -} + 6 H_{2} O$
So, c = 4
