Let cost of strawberries be $a$ , blueberries be $b$ and raspberries be $c$ . First statement states that $b > a$ . Second one states that $c > b$ . Combining both equations we get:- $c > b > a$ proving that raspberries is the costliest. So, the answer is $\color{#69047E}{\boxed{\text{True}}}$ .

Because the first two statements are true, raspberries are the most expensive of the three.
