Can someone explain how this ranking system works ... are the ranks based on No.of copies sold???

its like you say it ranked on weekly Manga sale of a manga Volume
example 1 manga has 4-5 chapters.

first number group ranking
second numbers group is total sale of that week for that volume
third numbers group is totale sale from the start sale until the date of this ranking
