If a die is rolled three times, then the probability of getting a larger number on its face than the previous number each time, is
  1. $\frac{15}{216}$
  2. $\frac{5}{54}$
  3. $\frac{13}{216}$
  4. $\frac{1}{18}$

Solution

Here, total number of possible out come $ =6^3=216 $ Now, we can choose any three numbers out of 6 numbers and we can place them in ascending order and we can place them in ascending order in only one way. So, favourable out come $={ }^6 C_3=20$ Now, required probability $=\frac{20}{216}=\frac{5}{54}$
