In this question,

1) We have to dilate A using P as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 3 and label the new point A'

The P is at the center, say 0.

The A lies at 1.

A' (after scaling 3 times A) would be = 3 * 1 = 3

Therefore, A' will lie on point 3 or circle 3.

2) We have to dilate B using P as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 2 and label the new point B'

The P is at the center, say 0.

The B lies at 2.

B' (after scaling 2 times B) would be = 2 * 2 = 4

Therefore, B' will lie on point 4 or circle 4.

For clarification, have a look at the attached figure:
