Shown below are portions of orbital diagrams representing the ground state electron configuration of certain elements. If ‘x’ of them violates Pauli exclusion principle and ‘y’ of them violates Hund’s Rule then what is ‘x’ multiplies ‘y’?

The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers. In other words, only two electrons may exist in the same atomic orbital, and these electrons must have opposite spins. (a) and (f) violate the Pauli exclusion principle. Hund's rule states that the most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins. (b), (d) and (e) violate Hund's rule.
