Solution

Right auricle and ventricle of the heart are comparatively larger as compared to the left auricle and ventricle. So, right auricle and ventricle have tricuspid valve(three-flapped valve) in between them whereas left auricle and ventricle have bicuspid valve (contains two flaps).

Intra ventricular septum is thicker as compared to inter-auricular septum because right ventricle contains deoxygenated blood and left ventricle contains pure blood and to avoid their mixing.
