What is the valve that is between the ventricles and their arteries?

Between the Atria and Ventricles of the heart are the aptly named Atrioventricular valves. The valve between the right atrium and ventricle is called the Tricuspid because id has three Cusps (of small flaps the are pushed together and closed when under pressure). The valve between the left atrium and ventricle is called the Bicuspid because it has two cusps, of more often called the Mitral Valve because its two cusps look like a bishops hat.

Number of cusps in the left AV valve and right AV valve?

Your answer is in the name of each valve actually. The left atrioventricular valve (AV) can also be called the bicuspid valve and the right atrioventricular valve can also be called the tricuspid vavle. If you think back to what you may have learned in Anatomy and Physiology 1, a word that has "uni" attached to the front of it usually means one or single, a word that has "bi" attached to the front of it usually means two or double, and a word that has "tri" attached to the front of it usually means three or triple. So to answer your question, the left atrioventricular valve, which is also known as the bicuspid valve has two cusps and the right atrioventricular valve, which is also known as the tricuspid valve has three cusps.
