I have tried to resolve by executing npm i @angular/compiler-cli command,

it has given me output like below

after that I tried to execute ng serve still getting the same error like

it is version mismatch, just update all dependencies with npm-check-updates

npm i -g npm-check-updates
ncu -u
npm install
