Which set of quantum numbers is not consistent with the quantum mechanical theory?

Which set of quantum numbers is not consistent with the quantum mechanical theory?
  1. $\mathrm{n}=2, l=1, \mathrm{~m}=1, \mathrm{~s}=1 / 2$
  2. $\mathrm{n}=4, l=3, \mathrm{~m}=2, \mathrm{~s}=-1 / 2$
  3. $\mathrm{n}=3, l=2, \mathrm{~m}=3, \mathrm{~s}=+1 / 2$
  4. $\mathrm{n}=4, l=3, \mathrm{~m}=3, \mathrm{~s}=+1 / 2$

Solution

The $\mathrm{e}^{-}$is a well defined correlation between $\mathrm{n}, l, \mathrm{~m}$ and s quantum numbers in an atom. $l=(\mathrm{n}-1), \mathrm{m}$ will be $\pm 1 / 2$, for $\mathrm{n}=3$ there cannot be $\mathrm{m}=3$. Highest value $\mathrm{m}$ will be 2 .
