I see what you are saying now. You are right in terms of final justice. Asaph struggled with that percieved 'injustice' in Psalm 73. But the OP is speaking of God's mercy as it pertains to giving eternal life; if God chose to save five out of the ten sinners.I'm taking the OP scenario in terms of final judgment. I realize that is not explicitly stated, but if it's not, then the situation is still open and God may be merciful towards those whom he is now punishing and punish the ones towards whom he is now being merciful. And if that's the case in the OP scenario then it loses its force as an interesting scenario. So, it needs to be taken in terms of final judgment. Your example doesn't fit the scenario.
