If you want to find the size of directories, you can use:

du -kxs directories ...

>first we need to check 1 to 20 directory size.  second we need to check 20 to 50 directory size

I'm not sure what you mean here?  Do you want to sort?  Or only list specific sizes?

Please provide some sample du(1) output and tell us how you want to format it.

I'm still not clear.

You can use "du -kxs a? a??" to list the first one and two characters after "a".
