Blueberries > Strawberries
Blueberries < Raspberries
From these two, we can establish the order:
Raspberries > Blueberries > Strawberries
Now, look at the third statement:
"Raspberries cost more than strawberries and blueberries."
This matches our order:
Raspberries are greater than Blueberries, and Blueberries are greater than Strawberries — so Raspberries are greater than both.
Blueberries < Raspberries

It is unclear.
In the third statement, Raspberries cost more than strawberries and blueberries, so we interpret this as R = B + S.
Then, option would be uncertain.

Blueberries cost more than strawberries.
Let suppose blueberries is 100 and strawberry is 10.
Blueberries cost less than raspberries.
Blueberry we already assumed in 100, Let suppose raspberry is 5.
So raspberry costs less both than strawberry n blueberry.
If we would assumed raspberry to be 20 it would ve been less than blueberry but more than strawberry.

What if strawberries and raspberries are the same cost. Blueberry is still cheaper than raspberries and strawberry?
Then, the answer should be uncertain.

It is true only because in the question it is mentioned clearly that raspberry is expensive.

Answer be uncertain, let's say the cost of strawberry is 1 Rs, blueberry be 2 Rs, raspberry 3 Rs, so how can the price of raspberry be more than 3?

Just to throw this out there - If the Raspberries were said pound 1, Blueberries pound 0.90, and Strawberries pound 0.80 then the statement wouldn't be true.
Why shouldn't the actual answer be 'uncertain'?
Why shouldn't the actual answer be 'uncertain'?

First call will be made to 152 so it should be 2*8. Plus what if we get deepak in between like at 19 and don't need to call further. Can we really calculate this?
