    Marble 1 and 2 will repel each other, but no interaction occurs with marble 3.

    Explanation:

    Rubbing the marbles 1 and 2 with silk makes them lose the electrons and they become slightly positively charged. However the marble 3 is neutral as it's not rubbed with silk. So upon briging them all close together, the positively charged marbles repel each other as the same charges repel. However there will be no interaction with marble 3.
