It depends which one - all of them will fit (except the pre-AI version, but that's a stupidly expensive collector's piece), but;

If it's the AI/AIS manual-focus version, it allows neither autofocus nor metering (of the big 4, only Pentax accept and meter with MF lenses).

I'm not sure if there's an AF-D version, which has no motor, so can't autofocus with your camera. It does, however permit metering as long as the aperture ring is locked.

If there's an AF-S G version, it allows full functionality, but it's horrendously expensive compared to the 50mm f1.8, which is only a stop slower.

I'm a Canon guy but I believe so. Check the specs of the camera and the lens to see if they work together.

It will fit but you will have to focus manually and shoot without the aid of the built-in lightmeter. You're on your own.

Yes, that lens will mount. Of course the lens will not AF because it's a manual focus lens. Also, your camera's built in meter will not provide you with any metering help, so you'll have to "guess" and choose the exposure yourself. (this is because the lens is not chipped (aka non-CPU). You can always use an external light meter.

If you're looking for a 50mm lens for D5200, i'd recommend 35mm f/1.8, it's an AF-S lens so you can use it with D3xxx and D5xxx.
