undefined

It's undefined. The number that 5/0 represents would be the number that you multiply by 0 to get 5. But there's no number that you could multiply by 0 to get 5, or any other non-zero answer for that matter. There's no answer to it at all.
Since 5 divided by a really really small number comes out to a huge number, and as the small number gets ever smaller the answer gets ever bigger, it's only natural to think of 5/0 in terms of infinity, but truth be told infinity's really not a number in of itself but rather a concept.

the figure is already decided which is to be divided hence it is undefined and not infinity answer.

it is infinity. since anything multiplied by 0 is equal to 0. as such dividing 5 by zero is infinity.

first you understand what is a division?
divison means making one thing(it can be a number) into required number of parts.
here ca we divide '5' into zero parts? here number of parts must be exit.
hence this division is undefined.

diving any no by 0 gives infinity

Both are correct it is undefined and value is infinite

The answer is neither. It's really negative infinity.

equal to infinity

its undefined.
but if you take the limiting value of
lt. x->0 (5/x)
it'll be infinity.
