With both pairs of sentences.

Since you haven't said anything about the thrid sentence, I assume it is correct. Is it? I do exercice 2 -3 times. (or twice-thrice)
 
I do exercise two or three times a week/month.
[STRIKE]I do exercise twice or thrice a week/month.[/STRIKE]

We don't use the word "thrice" in American English, so only the first sentence could work for us. You could say I do exercises twice a week/month. ​"I do exercise" isn't wrong but the plural is a lot more natural.

More naturally, you'd say I exercise instead of "I do exercise(s)".
 
Hello
Could you check to tell me whether the corrected sentences are right?

Or just say: Tell me whether these sentences are right.

I came in London on business. No.
I came to London on business. Yes.

They are on materniy leaves. No.
They are on maternity leave. Yes. (Does leave change to plural? No.)

I did the exercises two or three times. (or twice ​or thrice)
Thrice isn't used in conversation anymore.
 
You don't hear thrice used in BrE nowadays much. I can't remember the last time I heard someone use it.
