What is the failure rate per thousand hours of operation for GA aircraft recip engines compared to PT6A type of engines?

About ten times. The flipside is that a plane with a PT6 in it costs a LOT more than a plane with a reciprocating engine.
Most of the planes that run the PT6 are very different from those that run reciprocating engines; witness the Cessna Caravan. The only "comparable" planes I can think of are the Beech King Air 100 and Baron, and the Mooney Acclaim and Socata TBM850. In both cases, the turboprop is over twice the price of the piston plane. There are advantages to the turboprop, such as reliability and service ceiling, but that still doesn't change the fact that you're going to spend way more money on the plane.

The frontal area of a centrifugal compressor as compared to axial flow compressor is larger or smaller?
the frontal area of a centrifugal compresor is more as compared to axial flow compressor for a given air flow. And for this reason axial compressors are being used in aircraft engines.

How many engines does a jet aircraft have?
For the most part, jet engine aircraft mostly have 2 jet engines such as the a319, 737 and private jets such as lears and gulfstreams. However, this is purely dependent on the type of aircraft it is. Some aircraft, such as the 747, a340 and a380 have 4 jet engines.
