1. there are 6 terms between 54 and 39336, so
r^6 = 39336/54 = 6556/9
I suspect a typo, since it is not rational.
Anyway, use that or fix it, and you will have r.
Then a = 54/r^2

Having a and r, you can find any other terms.
"sum of 4th term" makes no sense.

2. "3rd and 9th term of a g.p are 54 and 39,336"
--> ar^2 = 54 and ar^8 = 39336
ar^8/(ar^2) = 39336/54
r^6 = 728.444.. , I suspect that was supposed to be 729 , since 3^6 = 729

I will go with r = ± 3
then in ar^2 = 54
9a = 54 , ----> a = 6

take the rest from there
