Answer Wiki:
I assume that router A is connected to router B and router router B is connected to router C. If this is the set up then you are able to ping A to B and B to C because they are on the same network. For A to ping C there needs to be a route. This can be done by adding a static route on router A and C or configuring a routing protocol on all routers.
Here's a good article that explains how static routes are configured Cisco routers.

is there any firewall in between the routers?
if yes there is a need for a static route to be done..
Yes Mr A is absolutely right you need to define a Route to your router. eg
on configure terminal >ip route 192.168..x..x 255.x.x.x 192.168.x.x before sunbnetmask will be desired destination address
Sayub,In case these routers are not directly connected, you can make use of protocol like RIP for creating a dynamic route between these routers.
more info about dynamic routing with RIP in the following url

Great answers here… Sayub, let us know if these answers have helped you out.
Of course, they helped me alot and I have done it through static routing and by running protocol also.
Thanks to all………
