Detailed Solution

When n=3,l=0,1,2 i.e., there are 3s, 3p and 3d orbitals.
Total 18 electrons, 9 electrons with s=​+½ and 9 with s=-½
Alternatively, in any nth orbit, there can be a maximum of 2n2 electrons. 

Hence, when n=3, number of maximum electrons =18. Out of these 18 electrons, 9 can have spin -½ and remaining nine with spin =+½
