This is a voltage drop question. A 300 MCM copper or a 500 MCM aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 450 feet on a 240 volt system. The cheapest of the two conductors would be the aluminium conductor. For direct burial is will have a ACWU 90 designation.

What size underground wire do you need from house to building 120 feet away?
The most significant part of the equation is, what will be the maximum current draw? If it's to be a small current draw, for example 40 Amp service (40 amp breaker), you'll use 8AWG wire that's rated for direct burial. Higher current rating will require larger wire. As always, if you have any questions about the proper wiring or how to connect electrical service, contact a local electrical contractor. Understand that improper wiring can result in fire and/or death.

Having 120240 volt system what size underground wire would be needed for running 250 ft for 100 amp service to out building?
The service is calculated on the highest voltage. That will be 240 volts. A #1 copper or a 2/0 aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C and a voltage drop of 3% over 250 feet will do the job. For direct burial try an ACSR 90 cable. It is cheaper than copper by far.
What size wire for a 50 amp circuit 100 feet?
