No, the friend at the equator will not agree with the weight of gold bought at the poles. This can be explained as follows: We know that W=mg. Now since the value of g is greater at the poles, so weight of a certain mass of gold will be greater at the poles. When the same mass of gold will be bought at the equator, then its weight will be brought to equator, then it’s weight will be found to Ben less because the value of g is less at the equator.

Answer:
Since the acceleration due to gravity is less at equator as compared to that at poles, the weight of the gold will be less at the equator than at the poles. Hence, Amit's friend won't agree with the weight of the gold bought since it would be less than what he is expecting.
