The R guide to install on Ubuntu has already covered this, I tried the command and it seems to give R 4.0. Result of apt-cache policy.
$ apt-cache policy r-base
r-base: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4.1.1-1.1804.0 Version table: 4.1.1-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 4.1.0-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 4.0.5-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 4.0.4-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 4.0.4-1build1 500 500 hirsute/universe amd64 Packages 4.0.3-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 4.0.2-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 4.0.1-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 4.0.0-1.1804.0 500 500 bionic-cran40/ Packages 3.4.4-1ubuntu1 500 500 bionic/universe amd64 PackagesInstruction below taken from R installation guide.
