public class Solution {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    }

    public void someMethod() {
        class LocalInnerClass { // must not be static and is not really useful for you at the moment

        }
    }

    // not inside a method, just inside the containing class (like a field)
    public static class InnerClass {

    }
}

// top level class in the same file as the Solution class... it must not be public
class TopLevelClassInSolutionFile
{

}

in your case... the containing method is taking care of visibility. So the visibility modifier for your class does either not work or possibly break the methods visibility. So it isn't allowed in the first place. Don't bother to much with that and wait till ~lvl. 25 to learn more about that matter

And here how it probably should look like

public class Solution {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }

    public static class Person {

    }
}

post the entire content of Solution.java if you try to declare a second top level public class in the Solution.java file, then this is not possible. Also a top level class can not be static. If you declare a static inner class then make sure it is inside of the Solution class' parenthesis.
