It is ok as long as you have the same size on each axle. In other words you must have the exact same size tire on the front axle or the rear axle. Never mix sizes on an axle.

Is it ok to have 3 tires the same ratio and 1 different on a car?

By ratio if you mean size, the answer is no unless the car comes from the factory with a different size rear tires than front tires like some sports cars. In that case you would have 2 tires the same size on the front and 2 tires another size on the rear. You should never ever run 2 different size tires on the same axle. Therefore you would never have a situation where you would have 3 tires one size and then 1 tire another size.

Why are bike tires inflated to a higher pressure than car tires?

Becuse that's what it says on the sidewall of the tire... "inflate to...". Bike tires have a higher number there than car tires do. ;-). OK - actually it is a factor of the ratio of the tire's footprint size to the weight supported. Bike tires have a very small area that contacts the surface and therefore require a higher pressure to support the weight.
