Is there any way to calculate the
number of trades
in an options contract, if the following data is available-
Volume
Open Interest
Change in open interest
Underlying Price
Implied Volatility
Total Buy orders
Total Sell orders
Last Traded price
Average Price
Please provide the formula if it is possible.

No, it is not possible, because:
There is no distinction in volume and open interest between the effect of many small trades and the effect of a few large trades for the same total number of contracts.
There is not a one-to-one correspondence between orders and trades.

I don't see the number of Buy and Sell orders placed as having much importance. For example, 5 people placing 100 share buy orders is the same as one person placing a 500 share buy order.

There are two components here and the answer depends on what you're seeking.
If you want to know how many trades occurred in a security, look at Time and Sales. Note that as above, a single trade for 10 contracts could be 10 buyers and one seller (11 actual trades) and this is not reported.

I think it would be:
Number of trades = Volume for the period/ change in open interest for the period.
Note : change in oi will be an absolute value and not in percentage term.
