AI explanation

The vacant seats in AC 1st Class over the six days are found by subtracting each day's reserved seats from the total capacity of 120, giving 50, 30, 35, 25, 20, and 12, which sum to 172. The reserved seats in 2nd Class Non-AC on Wednesday and Saturday are 840 and 760, and their average is their sum divided by 2, which is 800. The required percentage is 172 divided by 800 and then multiplied by 100, resulting in 21.5%.
