HackerEarth Roy and Trending Topics problem solution

In this HackerEarth Roy and Trending Topics problem solution, Roy is trying to develop a widget that shows Trending Topics (similar to Facebook) on the home page of HackerEarth Academy.
He has gathered a list of N Topics (their IDs) and their popularity score (say z-score) from the database. Now z-score change every day according to the following rules:
  1. When a topic is mentioned in a 'Post', its z-score is increased by 50.
  2. A 'Like' on such a Post, increases the z-score by 5.
  3. A 'Comment' increases the z-score by 10.
  4. A 'Share' causes an increment of 20.
Now the Trending Topics are decided according to the change in z-score. One with the highest increment comes on top and the list follows.
Roy seeks your help to write an algorithm to find the top 5 Trending Topics.
If a change in z-score for any two topics is the same, then rank them according to their ID (one with higher ID gets priority). It is guaranteed that IDs will be unique.
