See

You have to filter the ROWNUM after the ORDER BY.
so :
select * from
SELECT TOT.HTNO, TOT.RESULT_NAME, TOT.TOTALMARKS, TOT.TOTALRANK,
TOT.RESEXAMSLNO, TOT.RESACADEMICSLNO, TOT.RESGROUPSLNO,
TOT.RESCORPCOLLSLNO, TOT.DISTRICTSLNO
FROM RESULT_STUDENTMARKS_TOTALS TOT
WHERE TOT.RESEXAMSLNO = 1
AND TOT.RESGROUPSLNO = 1
AND TOT.RESACADEMICSLNO = 9
AND TOT.RESCORPCOLLSLNO IN (99)
AND TOT.DISTRICTSLNO IN (4)
ORDER BY TOT.HTNO
where rownum < 6

Changed "rownum < 5" to "rownum < 6" to get 5 rows.
