Assuming you have access to Creo 7 or newer and you intend to run FEA on the weldment.

Build the three components in part mode as separate bodies. The geometry is straightforward for each.

Multibody tutorials:

Creo 7.0/8.0+ Multibody Home: Start Here! - PTC Community

Is there any possibility to model as a single part ptc creo 9.0

I am looking for FEA study in Ansys

You can model this as a single part in Creo. The suggestion of using multibody will enable definition of bond elements between the welded components. The use of 3 bodies in a single part model is what I proposed above. You can also of course create multiple parts and add them to an assembly.
