Calculating the 2nd Non-AC vacant seats on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, we get, $$210+180+150=540$$

Vacant seats on Wednesday are, $$60+120+140+125+35=480$$

The percentage can be calculated as,

$$Percentage\ =\ \dfrac{\left(540\ -\ 480\right)}{540}\ \times\ 100\ =\ \dfrac{60}{540}\ \times\ 100\ =\ \dfrac{100}{9}\ =\ 11.1\%$$

Therefore, option A is correct.
