Given, $$7p > 5$$

$$\Rightarrow$$  $$p>\frac{5}{7}$$

$$\Rightarrow$$  $$p>0.714$$

The smallest prime number greater than 0.714 is 2

$$\Rightarrow$$ $$p=2$$

$$7q < 497$$

$$\Rightarrow$$  $$q<71$$

The largest prime number less than 71 is 67

$$\Rightarrow$$  $$q=67$$

$$\therefore\ $$ $$\frac{p}{q}=\frac{2}{67}$$
