The call center calls the middle no. i.e. (305/2) = 152.5 say 152 and asks them their name to get an idea of whether to go to up or down side of 152 no directory and suppose person replies some name.
The starting letter of the name will suggest the call center to decide to weather go up or down the name list.
So the process goes like >305->152-->76-->38-->19-->9-->4-->2-->1.
So Minimum time = 9*2 = 18 mins.

Since each call takes 2 mins.

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?

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'?

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?

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

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