no on first roll second roll                 third roll                          total cases

6                          5                                 1,2,3,4                                  4

6                          4                                   1,2,3                                    3

6                          3                                     1,2                                     2

6                          2                                       1                                      1

5                          4                                     1,2,3                                  3

5                          3                                       1,2                                   2

5                           2                                        1                                     1   

4                           3                                       1,2                                   2


4                           2                                         1                                     1

3                           2                                         1                                      1




thus total cases = 20

thus prob = 20/216

= 5/54



thats the answer.........


nobody is perfect......i m nobody..............

3 nos can b chosen in 6C3 ways..
now they can b arranged in only one way side by side such that they are in ascending order.
so total ways such that each no is larger than the previous one =6C3..
now the total no of ways possible=6*6*6 ways
therefiore req prob = 6C3/6*6*6 = 20/ 6*6*6 = 5/ 54 .......

see to make all possible arr. of ascending ordered nos ,
we can do it by taking any possible combination amd then arranging it in ascending order.
first of all we find all the poss ways to choose 3 nos.
next we arrange tyhem in ascending order
since there is only one way to arrange any particular set of 3 nos so the total wways possible=total ways to choose 3 diff no sets=6C3
so prob=6C3/6*6*6
