@ jeeva 
formula for finding the maximum no of electron from the principal quantum no = 2 n square 
so, the total no of electron = 2 * (4 ) square = 32 
acc to the pauli exclusion principle there are twoi electron in each orbital with sign +1/2 and -1/.2 
so, the max no of electron here will be 32 and as far as no of electron with +1/2 are concerned then it will be 16 . 
HOPE IT CLEARS 
ALL THE BEST ./.
