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".
