Because 5+ acts as a pointer pointing to 6th element in the printf statement, as their are no characters at 5th and above place you will not get any output.
char str[]="HELLO WORLD";
printf(5+"aaaa %s",str);
Now the output will be HELLO WORLD
As the first five elements will be discarded.
Try with 1+, 2+...
You will get a clear idea.
char str[]="HELLO WORLD";
printf(5+"aaaa %s",str);
Now the output will be HELLO WORLD
As the first five elements will be discarded.

But say I want to take the string from the user, then this is not working. For example,
char str[] = "Hello World";
printf( 5 + "%s", str);
The output should be: "World" but Turbo C is not showing up anything on the output window. why?
char str[] = "Hello World";
printf( 5 + "%s", str);
The output should be: "World" but Turbo C is not showing up anything on the output window. why?

But for above example,
char str[] = "Hello World";
printf( 5 + "%s", str);
Output should be "World" as after space characters are present.
char str[] = "Hello World";
printf( 5 + "%s", str);
Output should be "World" as after space characters are present.

"Good Morning\n" returns the base address of this string and hence 5+ increments the address, eg: char* a="Good Morning\n"; a=a+5;

It works with:
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char str[]="Hello World";
printf(5+str);
return 0;
}
Output:
World.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char str[]="Hello World";
printf(5+str);
return 0;
}
Output:
World.

After skipping a+5=0+5=5 It returns the pointer as 6...And 6th letter is 'M'.
Note: Space should be count.
4+1(space).

4+1(space).

Why is it so? that it leaves the first 5 characters and takes tha last characters?

But the size of word "good" is four so how can get only morning output?

@Ashu.
Good+space is there so, total 5, hence only morning is print.
