S → aSbb → a(aSbb)bb → aa(ε)bbbb → aabbbb (wrong). So that’s 4 b’s, not 3.
That means m=3 not reachable for n=2 in this grammar? Correct — known property: this grammar gives m = n + k where k is number of times you used aSbb. For n=2, k can be 0 or 1 or 2 → m=2,3,4 possible. Yes, so m=3 possible: n=2,k=1 → S → aSbb → a(aεbb)bb? Let’s do stepwise:

: [ S \to aSb \mid \varepsilon ]
Check: ( S \Rightarrow aA \Rightarrow abS \Rightarrow ab\varepsilon = ab ) (length 2). Works. Language : All strings of ( and ) that are balanced.
