First, we find the total of two-headed Jolos by subtracting the total 140 and the total of one-headed 75.


140-75=65

There are 65 two-headed Jolos in total.

Then, we find the number of two-headed green Jolos by subtracting the total of two-headed 65 and the number of two-headed purple Jolos.


65-45=20

There are 20 two-headed green Jolos.

At last, we sum the one-headed and two-headed green Jolos to find their total


30+20=50

There are 50 green Jolos in total.

The right answer is B.
