Do you need a second main drain line if you add a second and third bathroom to both ends of the third floor of a home?

a home typically has a 4" main drain and that is enough. if it is not 4" you should get a plumbing code and do the math. Can you add a second 3-inch wasteline to an existing 3-inch main house wasteline in order to add the 3rd bath and toilet (this is obviously a 1950's house)?

How can select weldolet or pipe to pipe for branch connection?

Do not know the term, Weldolet, but if your question is where or how do you decide where you are going to cut a pipe to add a branch line, then it is a matter of where it is possibe and the easiest to do. It is not always as close to where you would like it, but where it makes the most sense to do it. Depends on the type of pipe involved also. Copper or PVC you can cut any place you want. Steel, you can replace a coupling with a T and a union if it is in the middle of a run. With steel either black or galvanized you will have to add a union or go back to the end of the run and take everything apart. Weld-o-lets are sized for the diameter of the pipe you are tying into and the diameter of the pipe you are adding. Example: 2" x 3" or 6" x 10". If you need the branch pipe to have a theaded connection you would select a Thread-o-let instead. Sizing is the same. Some o-let's can be used for a range of piping sizes. Example: a 3/4" thread-o-let may have 8-12 marked on it meaning you can weld it on to either 8", 10" or 12" pipe.

How can you connect two washing machines to a single standpipe?

There are a couple of different ways to connect two washers to a single standpipe. You could add two (or one other) spigot to the stand by cutting and splicing the spigot into the pipe. The easier way might be to just add a faucet splitter to the existing spigot. The problem may lie in water pressure, however, if the pipe is not properly pressurized. If you are in a rental space, make sure connecting to the pipe is allowed, as they are often reserved for fire fighting purposes.
