As it says on the tin: for reasons of, say, high price, there is not a singe 2-engined day fighter designed as such in the specified decade. No Bf 110, no Airacuda, no P-38, no Whirlwind, no Beaufighter, no Fw 187, no Ki-45 etc.
What are alternatives and workarounds (2 engines were mostly used if/when extra carrying capacity was sought), who will be better off once shooting started, what are gains/losses for the sides involved.

Please note that 2-engined aircraft that were not designed as fighters, like A-20 or Mosquito, can still be employed in day fighter role, however that might be a questionable proposal.
