Let number are $a , ar , ar ^{2}, ar ^{3}$

$a \frac{\left(r^{4}-1ight)}{r-1}=\frac{65}{12}......(1)$

$\frac{1}{a} \frac{\left(\frac{1}{r^{4}}-1ight)}{\frac{1}{r}-1}=\frac{65}{18}$

$\frac{1}{a r^{3}}\left(\frac{1-r^{3}}{1-r}ight)=\frac{65}{18}......(2)$

$\frac{(1)}{(2)} \Rightarrow a ^{2} r ^{3}=\frac{3}{2}$

and $\quad a^{3} \cdot r^{3}=1$

$ar =1$

$(\operatorname{ar})^{2} \cdot r =\frac{3}{2}$

$r=\frac{3}{2}, a=\frac{2}{3}$

So, third term $=\operatorname{ar}^{2}=\frac{2}{3} 	imes \frac{9}{4}$

$\alpha=\frac{3}{2}$

$2 \alpha=3$

The sum of first four terms of a geometric progression $(G.P.)$ is $\frac{65}{12}$ and the sum of their respective reciprocals is $\frac{65}{18} .$ If the product of first three terms of the $G.P.$ is $1,$ and the third term is $\alpha$, then $2 \alpha$ is ....... .
