The number is 74658.

Let 5 digits be a,b,c,d,e

Now given relations of digits are
Fifth number plus the third number equals fourteen.= c+e=15 that is e=14-c=14-10+b=4+b
First number is one less than twice the second number.= a=2b-1
Fourth number is one more than the second number.= d=b+1
Second number plus the third number equals ten.=b+c=10 that is c=10-b
Sum of all five numbers is 30.
a+b+c+d+e=30
putting all values,
2b-1+b+10-b+b+1+4+b=30
4b=16
b=4
We can get rest of the numbers using above given equations
SO the number is
74658
