although using pauli’s exclusion principle the correct answer should be 2,as these electrons will have a unique set of 3,1,-1,1/2 and 3,1,-1,-1/2. However an answer infinity is also possible for the given question as there are several elements having same pair of electrons in abundance.

n = 3, Main shell = 3rd
l = 1, Subshell is p which has px, py, pz as suborbitals of which m=-1 can be any one
Using Pauli’s exclusion principle, each pi will have 2 electrons of spin +1/2 or – ½.
Hence for a given atom 2 electrons have this no. possible.
But, infinity is also possible, as for many atoms of diffnt. elements may have same quantum no.s
