Natural Selection proposes that organisms that are better adapted to their environment are able to survive and reproduce.
Even though these frogs are the same species, their shades of green is what helps them to survive in their habitat. In this case, frogs with a lighter shade of green are able to be seen by predators easier, whereas frogs with darker shades are able to blend in (camouflage) more with their surroundings. After a period of time, due to them being easily seen, lighter-shaded green frogs will die off.
To anseer your question, natural selection would have a gradual affect on the frequency of the alleles. Lighter-green allele frequencies would eventually cut off, and darker-green allele frequencies will increase.
Hopefully the following image will help:
As seen in the image, (please forgive the quality, as I had drawn this on some random kids drawing site on the internet...) you can see the affects of natural selection on the allele frequencies. The brighter-green shades gradually decrease over time, as the darker shades increase.

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.
We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.
The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.
The nucleotide difference in 1 year = nucleotide.
The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = nucleotide.
The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.
Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.
In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.
