Hi Harsha,
There is nothing to do with multiple of 5.
Simply declare the array of occours of 5 keep on filling
it when 6th record comes start over writing it from 1st.
At last we only left with the last 5 fetched rows.

See there is no direct method to do so, but still if we want
last 5 rows only we can create a logic which is as follows.
1. Declare an array to save the fetch rows with occurs of 5.
2. Now fetch the rows and start saving in that array such
that when the count becomes 5 overwrite the 6th fetch in the
first occurs similarly the 7th fetch on the 2nd occur.
3. Now when all the fetching is done the array will contains
the last 5 fetched rows.
