- The shopkeeper sells products a, b, and c with profits of 20%, 30%, and 40% respectively.

- The cost price ratio is given as 4:3:2. Let's say the cost prices are 4x, 3x, and 2x.

- Calculate selling prices:

- Product a: Selling price = 4x + 20% of 4x = 4x + 0.8x = 4.8x

- Product b: Selling price = 3x + 30% of 3x = 3x + 0.9x = 3.9x

- Product c: Selling price = 2x + 40% of 2x = 2x + 0.8x = 2.8x

- The selling price ratio thus becomes 4.8x : 3.9x : 2.8x which simplifies to 48:39:28.

- Option 1: 48 : 39 : 28 is correct.
