In my opinion they are all wrong, you need a comma in the first sentence "I was very focused, reading a book" but it still sounds a little strange, I would write it like this "I was very focused while reading a book". In the second sentence you use concentrated in the wrong context and the last 2 just don't make sense. Have and Had are used incorrectly.

the last 2 are wrong, but the first 2 are almost correct. they should say "i was very focused as/while/when i was reading a book." "i was concentrating as/while/when i was reading a book." you cant say i was concentrated in that way. if something is concentrated, it is like saying purified, "the orange juice was concentrated"

Two last sentences are incorect;)
