General equation of the reaction is
A + B\rightarrow AB_2
It means that :
1atom of A require 1molecule of B2 for the formation of 1molecule of AB2 so
300 atom of A will require  300 molecule of B2.
but we have only 200 molecule of B2( which is less than that of what is needed) hence B2 is limiting reagent. 
Best of luck for your preparation!
