Answer 1

This issue is caused by version of typescript installed was not compatible with that of the rxjs installed.Installation of typescript as mentioned below helped me install the compatible version of typescript with that of the angular packages already installed.You can resolve the issue by the below command

npm install typescript 

This worked for me
