 You need to provide more info. It this is packet tracer project, attach the file here, just zip it first. 

There are many situation in which switch 5 could not ping the PC in switch 1. Starting by: Does the switch have IP address on it? 

Do you have a router or layer 3 switch on the topology?  Are the switch and PC in different networks?

Hi ikwayoniharry42,

    This provides a visual of the topology, but what are the configurations? What IP address subnets are we working with here? It looks like you have different departments named, but are they configured within VLANs and are those VLANs running? Also are they configured with MGMT SVI's? In this case I don't see any router or L3 switch but I see a server and PCs connected to switches. 

If you can go into your switches, enter priv exec mode using the command "enable" then run "show running-config" to display each switches configuration this will provide us with what we would need to assist on this.

 You can attaching the PK file here, just zip it first. I see you are using layer2 switch and this can offer you some trouble if you intent to route traffic. You may want to use layer3 switch instead.

 Attach your file and explain the requirement and we can help you.

More information for this would be required as Flavio said. If you could post a running-config of both switch 1 and 5, along with the configuration on the PC this would provide more insight into why your ping is unsuccessful . Or as he stated you can also add the .pkt file.
