This is wrong answer , 54 is preceded by a prime number but not followed by any number, hence how can we consider it?

@ABHISHEK PANDEY Hi Abhishek please read the question carefully Q is: How many 4's in the series are preceded by a prime number but not followed by a prime number....

In 54, 4 is preceded by 5 which is a prime number, obviously there is no number/prime number after 4., so 54 also be counted.
