@All
Please read my explanation given below carefully.
[ Remember: Cousin = The child of one's aunt or uncle. ]
Case-1:
If {the Girl's uncle = Brother of Girl's Mother}
Then the answer will be 'Brother or Cousin'.
Case-2:
If {the Girls uncle = Brother of Girl's Father}
Then the answer will be 'Cousin'.
Among the given options, there is no option for 'Cousin'.
So, we have to choose 'Brother' as the correct answer.
Tips: Use elimination method, just ignore the options that are not suitable. Then the remaining one is 'Brother'.
Note: In what situation will the answer be Brother?
If {the Girl's uncle = Brother of Girl's Mother}
Then, the Father of Girl's Uncle = Girl's Grand_Father(G_F)
In case, G_F's daughter =(might-be)= Girl's mother.
In this situation only, the boy will be Brother to that Girl. Otherwise, the answer will be cousin.
Hope this will help you a bit. Have a nice day!

As per case 1 of Sundar, brother of girls mother is maternal uncle but not uncle.
In the question they given uncle but not maternal uncle.
So uncle is fathers brother.
In that case ans is cousin but not brother.

@Sundar. Good explanation. But there needs to be two corrections.
1. Your answer will be perfect when its given that "He is the son of the ""only"" daughter of the father of my uncle. ".
2. In Intro given by India bix, if its given simply as uncle, one has to take it as father's bro. One have to take it as mother's bro only when its given as maternal uncle. This is pointed by Sandeep.

The answer is either cousin or brother. Such dubiousness should be avoided while framing questions. Using the elimination process does not test any kind of logical reasoning skills in you, in fact it is an incorrect assumption on part of the content developer. Guys, since when have we started looking for the most logical answer amongst incorrect choices.
