OK. So you are using the second AP as a wireless bridge to a switch, and you want the secondary AP to have two separate VLAN IDs.

Outside of remarking the VLANs at the switch, you won’t be able to use two vlans off the secondary AP. The AP assigns VLANs according to SSID, so for this scenario, it seems your best topology would be to create two SSIDs in AP-1A. SSID 1 will supply wireless for clients on VLAN A and SSID 2 will use VLAN B for the wireless bridge.

If you purchase a third AP you can setup AP-1A with 3 SSIDs. This will allow you to use VLAN C. Just make sure to separate VLAN B and VLAN C on the switch.

We
have Cisco AP 1242 (assume this is AP-1A) installed in warehouse. This
gives wireless connectivity to clients in vlan A. These Cisco AP 1242
are then connected to Switch through wire to reach gateway. Now There
are some clients which are far away from this Cisco AP signal range.
Hence I decided to Add another Cisco AP 1242 (assume this is AP-1B) in
workgroup bridge. so that this AP-1B will connect to AP-1A through
wireless to reach gateway and its BVI/fast ethernet port will gives
connectivity to switch then another clients in different vlan for
example Vlan B and Vlan C.

I don’t really get what the question is. What information are you looking for?
