2) The salesperson at stall 2 told him that any 4 bubble gums together with any 9 candy sweets have the same value as any 5 lollipops. 
3) The salesperson at stall 3 told him that any 6 candy sweets together with any 3 lollipops have the same value as any 4 bubble gums.
4) On purchasing some of each kind of sweet, Ramu discovered that exactly one of these salespersons was wrong.
