Suppose I have different root nodes like this and i need to set different 404 pages based on the ancestor root node. for eg, if i try mysite.com/sales/non-existing-page then i should redirect to the 404 page set for sales. Similar mechanism for all other root nodes.
Is it possible or is there is any way?
Any help is appreciated
Yes it is, when a request comes into Umbraco, there is a pipeline of different 'ContentFinder's' that fire one after another in a queue, trying to match the incoming request to a content item in Umbraco.
and then the last one in the queue is called the 'LastChanceContentFinder'
The cool thing is you can create your own ContentFinder by implementing the interface IContentFinder, and the method TryFindContent!
this method will get the url of the request coming in, and you can use that to determine 'which' of your four sites in Umbraco the request belongs to, and then you can find the '404' page in that particular site, and return that as the content for the request, if you register your content finder as the LastChanceContentFinder, then a proper 404 status code will be issued too...
Different error pages based on root
Can we set multiple 404 pages in the same site?

There is a good example of the gist of this approach here: https://github.com/TimGeyssens/UmbracoPageNotFoundManager/blob/master/PageNotFoundManager/PageNotFoundContentFinder.cs
In theory, the plugin does exactly what you need, but be aware of the licencing restrictions: https://github.com/TimGeyssens/UmbracoPageNotFoundManager
