Margin setting for chapter title and chapter number

Question

I'm using the code below. The margin for my report is 2cm for top, right and bottom, 4cm for left. The margin setting works for my second page. However, it does not work for my page in which the chapter title is located. May I know how can I solve it? Besides, I need to put my chapter title and chapter number at the same row. Thanks for your help.
