A) \(\frac{2}{7}\)
B) \(\frac{2}{5}\)
C) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
D) \(\frac{3}{5}\)
E) \(\frac{4}{7}\)

Let's take the no of members at chess club \(= 25\), so
the no of members at AV club \(= 15\)
Each member of the AV club sold \(\frac{2}{3}\) as many raffle tickets as each member of the chess club
let's say each member of the chess club sold \(3\) tickets, so each member of AV will sell \(2\) tickets.
No of tickets sold by AV \(= 2 * 15 = 30\) & by chess club \(= 3 * 25 = 75\)
Ratio = \(\frac{AV-club}{total} = \frac{30}{105}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\)
Answer A
