Principal quantum number (n) signifies the shell or orbit number. Form the number of values of

azimuthal quantum number (I), we can calculate number of subshell present in a shell as, I=0....n1 So, When n=4 The permissible value of I and subshell are

I=0s-subshell

=1p-subshell        

=2dsubshell

=3fsubshell

But, here value of I are restricted by the value of magnetic quantum number, m=2,Where, m depends  on I as m=1....0....+I

So, m=2 value is possible for two subshells, viz, l=3fsubshell and l=2 (d-subshell) only.

l=3m=3,21,0+1,+2,+3

I=2m=2,1,0,+1,+2
