Given 
G=S3 and H={(1)(2)(3),(12)(3)}={(I),(12)} 
Number of element H=2 
Left coset 
If H is a subgroup of G, then G is a group. Then the subset aH={ahhH}G is the left coset of H contaning a. 
Elementing G
S3={(I),(12),(13)(23)(123)(132)} 
6 total elements are present.
Here 
Total number of left coset= (Number of elements in G)/(Number of elements H)=62=3 
Find the cosets as 
S3={(I),(12),(13)(23)(123)(132)} 
H={(I),(12)} 
(I)H=H 
(12)H={(12),(1)(2)(3)} 
={(12),(I)}=(I)H=H 
(13)H={(13),(13)(12)} 
={(13),(123)} 
(23)H={(23),(23)(12)} 
={(23,(132)}  
(132)H={(23,(132)}=(23)H  
(123)H={(13),(123)}=(13)H 
Therefore, three different cosets are 
{(I)H,(23)H,(13)H}
