Detailed Solution

The total number of possible three digit numbers using the digits 0,1,2,3,4,5 is ns=55·4=100

Let E be the event of getting a number which have digits either increasing order or in decreasing order

The possibilities are 

The number of numbers having 1 in the thousands place and digits in increasing order is 4C2=6

The number of numbers having 2 in the thousands place and digits in increasing order is 3C2=3

The number of numbers having 3 in the thousands place and digits in increasing order is 2C2=1

The number of numbers having 5 in the thousands place and digits in increasing order is 5C2=10

The number of numbers having 4 in the thousands place and digits in increasing order is 4C2=6

The number of numbers having 3 in the thousands place and digits in increasing order is 3C2=3

The number of numbers having 2 in the thousands place and digits in increasing order is 2C2=1

n(E)=5+3+1+10+6+3+1=30

Therefore, the required probability  is 30100=310
