The four-firm ratio is the concentration ratio between the total sales accumulated by the four largest industrial firms to the total sales of all firms present in an industry. This translates to the mathematical expression of 

           four-firm ratio = (total sales of four largest firms / total sales)

Since, we are given that all 10 firms have the same sales, we let the sales be equal to x.

    total sales of four largest firms = 4x
    total sales  = 10x

The ratio is then,
 
                   four-firm ratio = 4/10

Converting this to percentage will yield us an answer of 40%.

Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.

1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases. It increases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price

When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping

2. Negative correlation :  it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price

When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping

3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables. It decreases the risk of the portfolio
