Not able to run more than 2 tasks using FREERTOS with Segger Embedded Studio

Hi Everyone , I am using SDK v15.0 for nrf52840 with segger embedded studio.

I tried the example code given for blink freertos. I  am able to run two tasks but as soon as i write third task to blink a 3rd onboard LED. It compiles but it doesn't do anything, No leds blink at all.

here is the code

Is it a problem of stacksize configuration or something else?
