Hi,Mr. Singaravelu, Greetings from YASHA Study center, Answer for your Question is - Both the words "Persons" and "People" can be used as plural for "Person". But "People" has overtaken "Persons" for general situations. Most often in causal conversation, you will hear "people" used. "Persons" is used in more formal constructs. "People" denotes a group, an unspecified number of people, for example: The people in the area have been warned about the possible risks. "Persons" refers to persons individually and denotes an exact number which can be, or should be able to, expressed in numbers, for example:Which persons are responsible for this fire? read less

Both are correct, and people has overtaken persons for general situations. Most often in causal conversation, you will hear people used. People is the ordinary plural of person. Asking for a table for two or a table for two people is better than asking for a table for two persons.

We can use both persons and people but in a right way I mean for a group we use people.
