Detailed Solution

CuSO4+2eCu+SO42

Bi2(SO4)3+6e2Bi+3SO42

AlCl3+3eAl+3Cl

AgNO3+eAg+NO3

Since, in 1 M CuSO4 solution, 1 M Bi2(SO4)3 solution, 1 M AlCl3 solution and 1 M AgNO3 solution, 2 moles electron, 6 moles electron, 3 moles electron are needed to deposit Cu, Bi, Al and Ag at the cathode respectively. 

But one mole electron = 1 F electricity 

That's why number of faradays required to deposit 1 M of each CuSO4,Bi2(SO4)3,AlCl3 and AgNO3 solution are 2 F, 6 F, 3 F and 1 F respectively 

Alternatively

Number of moles = Number of equivalents ×Valency

1 equivalent is deposited by 1 Faraday
