This study is a continuation of our work in [17]. In this paper, we use the same definition of equivalence and enumeration algorithm exploited in [17], to establish general formulae for the number of flags and distinct fuzzy subgroups of $2 p^n q$ for distinct primes p and q, and n a positive integer.
