We focus on #4 and #5 first. If #4 were false, then there is at most 1 true statement and at least 4 false statements. This forces #5 to be the true statement. However, #3 would have to be true as well, since #4 is false. Thus, #4 must be true.
If #5 were false, then the rest of the statements are true. However, #2 would then be false, since #1 is true. Thus, #5 must be true.
Since #4 and #5 are both true, #3 is false. This leads to #1 being false and #2 being true. In total, the true statements are #2, #4, and #5, or 3 statements.
