Plane conducting surfaces facing each other must have equal and opposite charge densities. Here as the plate areas are equal, Q2=Q3.

The charge on a capacitor means the charge on the inner surface of the positive plate (here it is  Q2)

Potential difference between the plates  = charge  capacitance=Q2C=2Q22C=Q2Q22C=Q2Q32C
