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.

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 > 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
From these two, we can establish the order:
Raspberries > Blueberries > Strawberries

"Raspberries cost more than strawberries and blueberries."
