Answer:

300°

Explanation:

The reverse bearing is different by 180°. It will be ...

Q from P = (120° +180°) = 300°

_____

Additional comment

Bearings are always in the range 0 to 360° (not including 360°). That means the reverse bearing will be the original less 180° when the original is 180° or more. It will be the original plus 180° when the original is less than 180° (as here).
