Option 3 : Refrigerator
Let us assume,
Gas stove = GS
Washing machine = WM
Microwave oven = MO
Now,
1. The Washing machine is twice as heavy as the Inverter.
WM = 2 × Inverter -------------- (1)
2. The Gas stove is one and half time as heavy as the Microwave oven.
GS = 1.5 × MO ------------ (2)
3. The Washing machine and Microwave oven together weigh as much as the Gas stove and Inverter together.
WM + MO = GS + inverter ------------ (3)
4. The Refrigerator and Inverter together are one and half times as heavy as the Gas stove.
Refrigerator + inverter = 1.5 × GS -------------- (4)
From Equation (1), (2), and (3)
(2 × inverter) + Mo = 1.5 × Mo + inverter
Inverter = 0.5 × Mo
MO = 2 × inverter ------------- (5)
From Equation (2) and (5)
GS = 1.5 × 2 × inverter
GS = 3 × inverter ---------------- (6)
from Equation (4) and (6)
Refrigerator + inverter = 1.5 × 3 × inverter
Refrigerator + inverter = 4.5 × inverter
Refrigerator = 3.5 × inverter ---------------(7)
from equation (1), (5), (6), and (7)
Washing machine = 2 × Inverter
Microwave oven = 2 × inverter
Gas stove = 3 × inverter
Refrigerator = 3.5 × inverter
From the above Equations, we can see that "Refrigerator is the heaviest among the five objects".
Hence, the correct answer is "Refrigerator".
