The correct answer is: $\frac{5}{54}$
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 $=\frac{20}{216}=\frac{5}{54}$
