check if this heps you get started:

for file in /path/tp/b/*
do
    echo check if $file exists in directory a
done

what have you tried so far?

for file in `ls  folderb`
do
find  foldera -type f -name "$file" -exec rm -f {} \;
done

you can also try diff command to get listing.

-bash-3.2$ diff fol1 fol2 | grep fol1
Only in fol1: b.txt
Only in fol1: c.txt
-bash-3.2$

for i in $(ls -1 /home/pritish/a);do
        for j in $(ls -1 /home/pritish/b);do
                if [ $i ==  $j ]; then
                        $(rm -i /home/pritish/a/$i)
                fi
        done
done

for i in `ls dir1`;do
