when you excite the 3-phase coils with an alternating supply,It produces a rotating magnetic field which interacts with the windings/conductor on the rotor & produces a current. According to Lenz's law the current induced is opposite in nature to the cause producing it & hence the magnetic field produced by this current will be opposite in nature to the rotating magnetic field in the stator.Hence due to interaction of these two forces a torque will be acting on the rotor which will make the rotor to rotate. Hence it is self-starting .

How many poles are required on motor starters for the following motors a240-volt single-phase induction motor b440-volt three-phase induction motor?

For a 240-volt single-phase induction motor, a two-pole motor starter is typically required, as it connects to the two live conductors of the single-phase supply. For a 440-volt three-phase induction motor, a three-pole motor starter is needed, as it connects to the three phases of the three-phase supply.

Is three phase induction motor continue running when any of the two phase is disconnected?

This question doesn't really make any sense - any of the two phase? A three phase induction motor requires 3 phases to start - if a single phase is lost while the motor is already running then yes the motor will continue to run. A three phase motor will not start if it is missing a phase.
