    HHI = 1550

    Explanation:

    Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a popular measure of the concentration of the market and it is used to ascertain market competitiveness, usually pre - and post-Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. HHI is measured by summing the square of the idividual market share of firm competing in a market ad It has a range from close to 0 to 10,000.

    HHI = 20² + 20² + 20² + 10² + 10² + 10² + 5² + 5²

    =1550
