Routing – How to ping default gateway from a pc

How can I ping the default gateway from PC2?
I have tried IP <address> [/<mask>] [<gateway>] command for R1, but is says "not in subnet".

And when I tried the same command for R3, it works but I still can't ping R1 and I don't know why.

  • PC2 needs a route for 144.120.8.1 (or default route) that points at R3
  • R3 needs a route for 144.120.8.1 (or default route) that points at R2
  • R2 needs a route for PC2 (or default route) that points at R3
  • R1 needs a route for PC2 (or default route) that points at R2
