It is impossible to add 5 odd numbers and get a sum of 50. When you add an odd number of odd numbers you will get an odd number for a sum. That is, unless you are including decimals or something...
That's impossible. Adding up an odd number of odd numbers will give an answer that is an odd number. 50 is an even number. So adding up 5(5 is an odd number) odd numbers will not give 50, an even number.

It is not possible. The sum of 7 odd numbers must be odd while 50 is not odd.
It is not possible. The sum of 5 odd numbers must be odd and 50 is not odd.
There have to be an even number of odd numbers in each group, and each group must have more than two odd numbers (since 19 + 17 is only 36); thus there must be four in one group and six in the other. There are many ways to get four odd numbers to add up to to 50; for example, you could take 1, 13, 17 and 19. The remaining six odd numbers will then also add up to 50.
