As you need to find the distance covered in fifth second, you should find the distance covered in six seconds and five seconds and subtract them.
As per the equation s=ut+1/2(at^2)
u=0, a=g (acceleration due to gravity) and t = time
Distance covered in 6 seconds (let’s call it s6)= 1/2 (36g)
Distance covered in 5 seconds (let’s call it s5)= 1/2 (25g)
therefore answer is s6-s5= 11g/2 (put value of g as 10 or 9.8 as per you accuracy requirements and solve to get answer).
