Suppose I have a sequence 5,5,5,1,5,4,1,2,3,5,5,1,5 then 5 followed by 5 is 3 so answer is 3, so how to programme it in Matlab.

Lets assume the vector is a, i.e.,
a = [5,5,5,1,5,4,1,2,3,5,5,1,5];
Try this:
numberOfPairs = sum(numel(find(diff(a)==0)));
Hope this helps!

I want to obtain transition probability matrix by this sequence in that I want calculate probability matrix by equation as follows probability= (number of pairs one state followed by other)/(number of pairs first state followed by any another state), how to do this.

You can find out how many pairs of all integers are next to all other integers with the gray level cooccurrence matrix, given by graycomatrix() if you have the Image Processing Toolbox
m = [5,5,5,1,5,4,1,2,3,5,5,1,5]
glcm = graycomatrix(m, 'NumLevels', max(m),'GrayLimits',[])
glcm =
0 1 0 0 2
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 1 3
For example, 5 is next to 5 3 times. 5 is next to 1 two times. 3 is next to 2 two times, etc.

To get "(number of pairs one state followed by other)" - read it from the GLCM array. To get "(number of pairs first state followed by any another state)" just count up the total number of that number as long as that number is not in the last row or last column
subArray = fullMatrix(1:end-1, 1:end-1);
numAnyPairs = sum(subArray(:));
