    Step-by-step explanation:

    To calculate concentration ratio,

    CR4 = (X1 + X2 + X3 + X4) / T

    In this equation:

    X is the total sales of an individual company (sales figures for the four largest firms are used in the four-firm concentration ratio)

    T is the total sales of the industry or market in question.

    From the question, T was given as 2000, but individual sales of this companies were not given.

    We have

    CR4 = (A+B+C+D) / 2000

    I believe the information provided in the question is not sufficient to determining percentage of the total output the four firms are responsible for.
