In a village of 1500 people, 25 % belong to Scheduled Castes, 30 % belong to Scheduled Tribes and the rest belong to other groups. How many people belong to other groups?

Step-by-step solution

1. Compute 25 % of 1500: $0.25\times 1500=375$ people in Scheduled Castes.
2. Compute 30 % of 1500: $0.30\times 1500=450$ people in Scheduled Tribes.
3. Add the two groups: $375+450=825$ people.
4. Subtract from total: $1500-825=675$ people belong to other groups.
