The correct answer is: 3
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{m}_1}{\mathrm{~m}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{E}_1}{\mathrm{E}_2} \Rightarrow \frac{2.15}{1.31}=\frac{107.9}{\mathrm{E}_2} \\ & \mathrm{E}_2=65.7\end{aligned}$
Equivalent weight $=\frac{\text { Atomic mass }}{\text { Valency }}$
Valency of gold $=\frac{197}{65.7}=3$
