undefined means you can not do the operation (5/0 is undefined)

no solution refers to an equation not having an answer.

a solution is a number which you can plug into the variable of an equation and get a true statement. So having no solution means there is no number which you can plug in and get a true statement.

As a fraction is not an equation, but an expression it is not right to say that 5/0 has no solution. There is no variable in 5/0, nothing to plug into to get a true or false statement.
