\begin{aligned} &\text { Density }=\frac{Z M_{0}}{N_{A} \; a^{3}}=43.1 \\ \\&\Rightarrow \quad \frac{4 \times 58.5}{6.02 \times 10^{23} \; a^{3}}=43.1 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad a^{3}=9 \times 10^{-24} \\ &\Rightarrow \quad a=2.08 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm} \\ &\Rightarrow \quad a=2.08 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}

Now in NaCl type of solid

\begin{aligned} & a=2\left(r_{+}+r_{-}\right) \\ \Rightarrow & r_{+}+r_{-}=\frac{a}{2}=1.04 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}

Thus, the distance between \mathrm{Na^{+}\; and\; Cl^{-}} is 1.04\times10^{-10}\text{m}

Hence , the answer is 1
