What would happen if an asteroid on a collision course with Earth would get blown up in outer space?
It is FAR easier to change the direction of an asteroid than to blow it up. All that is needed to accomplish the former is to nudge the asteroid a little off its collision course with Earth, and this could be done with some small explosions on the side of that asteroid. Blowing up an asteroid would be a complete waste of energy.
What are the methods to avoid collision of asteroid of 50metres with earth?
You cannot "avoid" a collision; if the asteroid is headed this way, it will hit. They aren't steerable. Give us another 50 years or so, and perhaps we would be able to prevent it.

99942 Apophis is a 270m diameter near Earth asteroid that was thought to be on a collision course with Earth. It caused a panic in 2004 as it was thought that it might hit the earth in 2029. New calculations estimate that the asteroid will now most likely miss.
Can an asteroid destroy the earth?
No, an asteroid cannot destroy earth, but a large enough asteroid can have devastating effects on the life on Earth
