(b) \(rac{5}{24}\)Total number of ways three die can be rolled = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216 A larger number than the previous number can be got in the three throws as (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 4), (1, 2, 5) (1, 2, 6), (1, 3, 4), (1, 3, 5) (1, 3, 6), (1, 4, 5) (1, 4, 6) (1, 5, 6) (2, 3, 4), (2, 3, 5), (2, 3, 6) (2, 4, 5), (2, 4, 6), (2, 5, 6), (3, 4, 5), (3, 4, 6) (3, 5, 6), (4, 5, 6). ∴ Total number of favourable cases = 20∴ Required probability =\(rac{20}{216}\) = \(rac{5}{24}\).
