Thanks Tony, the task completed.

total=23
m=1
n=1
while (( $total >= $m ))
do
cat $HOME/file1 | sed -n "$m"p >> file3
cat $HOME/file2 | sed -n "$n"p >> file3
(( m = $m + 1 ))
(( n = $n + 3 ))
done

Sorry I did not respond, work is realy busy, but I did start to write the script(good intentions), but I see you are using the same logic I had in mind.
