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.

@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!
