Correct Answer:

Tina's capital A/c Dr. ₹50,000
      To Realisation A/c    ₹50,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1-
Tina's capital A/c Dr. ₹50,000
      To Realisation A/c    ₹50,000

For an asset taken over by a partner the journal entry is-
Partner’s Capital A/c Dr.
       To Realisation A/c

This entry will reduces the capital account of partner by the asset amount. So, the partner's capital A/c is debited and realisation A/c is credited as investments were already transferred to realisation A/c.
