I've tried the following based on other answers:

Installing ASP.NET MVC 4 separately from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30683
Updating NuGet packages
Settings System.Web.Helpers Copy Local to True

Solution

Referenced version of System.Web.Helpers assembly in project may not be matching with version mentioned in web.config file. Follow below mentioned steps.

Check referenced version of System.Web.Helpers.
Check web.config file under root of web application and see if there is entry for System.Web.Helpers and verify its same as that of referenced version.
Check web.config file under "Views" folder of web application and see if there is entry for System.Web.Helpers and verify its same as that of referenced version.
