Pauli's exclusion principle: no two electrons in the same atom can be described by the same set of quantum numbers.

An orbital is described by the first three quantum numbers.

So to find your answers, you have to check the identity if the quantum numbers: all 4 for (a), the first 3 for (b)

well "n" is the shelf number as my chem teacher calls it and since l = n-1 = 3-1; therefore l are the values of 0 (s), 1 (p), or 2(d); they tell you that l is 1 so its 3p ... i don't know why ml or ms is needed in figuring this out in less its to throw you off (or i got it wrong) or where the variable t came from.
