answer=20% Profit
A buys an item Rs-120 and it gains 25%..so the selling price will be Rs-150
s.p=(100+gain%)/100*c.p
=>s.p=Rs-150
now the second person's cost price is Rs-150 and his selling price is Rs-180 so gain is Rs-30 and it is in percentage by Gain% = (gain*100)/c.p
the answer is 20% profit
