Detailed Solution

The given series is,
3,3+ 2, 3+2 2, 3+3 2, …
It is clear that the given sequence is an AP having first term, a=3 and common difference, d=2.
Thus, nth term=an=a+(n-1)d
Now, the next three terms are 5th, 6th and 7th terms.
a5=a+4d =3+4×2
=3+42
a6=a+5d
=3+5×2
=3+52
a7=a+6d
=3+6×2
=3+62
Hence, the correct option is 2.
