Solution
When a particular oxidation state becomes less stable relative to other oxidation state, one lower, one higher, it is said to undergo disproportionation. $\mathrm{Cu}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+\mathrm{Cu}$
$$
3 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{2-}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{MnO}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}
$$
