Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1).

Bank A/C Dr     45,000
          To Realisation 45,000.

Investment with book value of ₹1,00,000 were given to the creditors in full settlement of their account- No journal entry is passed for it.

The partner took investments in cash means he has paid cash of 45000 to the firm and investments are already transferred to the realisation account. So journal entry passed according to it.
Bank A/c Dr. 45000 (Amount received by the firm)
    To Realisation A/c 45000 (Investments)
