Can an assessee avail benefit by investing part of capital gain in a residential house under sec 54 and balance of capital gain in Tax Saving bonds under sec 54EC? For example, if LTCG on sale of residential house is 1.5 crore and he buys another residential house for 1 crore and invests 50 lakhs in REC bonds, will he get full exemption of 1.5 crore?

Yes, you can claim exemption partly investing on house / or bonds. To claim on house you should not own more than one house to avail exemption.
