Answer:

  • B. 308

Explanation:

  • Table is given below
  • Find the missing values.
  • The one we are looking for is total of green = y.

| 1 -H | 2-H | Total

Green | 170 | x | y

Purple | z | 284 | w

Total | 430 | v | 852

  • z = 430 - 170 = 260
  • w = 260 + 284 = 544
  • y = 852 - 544 = 308
  • v = 852 - 430 = 422

Correct choice is B
