Answer: There are 100 datafiles, numbered from 1 to 100. File number 10 is deleted and it has 500 MB of data. The database is working in archive log mode. How can be the database recovered ? While doing recovery the archive logs applied are from nos 1 to 100, but 50 gets corrupted. What do we do? Can we proceed further? If so how?

RE: Corrupted Archieve Logs
 

In this situation you're not able to recover the database. Of course, it can be done by using nonsupported and nondocumented parameter "_ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTED" but you HAVE NOT to use it without Oracle Support's suggestion

If your database is running, take a whole backup, delete all archived redo log files and start creating archived redo log files again
