Brother

Father

Uncle

Cousin

Let's break it down step by step:

- Mihir says Kaumudi is "the only daughter of my mother’s brother-in-law."

- "Mother’s brother-in-law" can mean either:

- Mother's sister's husband (uncle by marriage), or

- Mother's husband's brother (father's brother—also uncle).

- If it's "mother's husband's brother," then he is Mihir's father's brother, so Kaumudi is Mihir's cousin.

- If it's mother's sister's husband, and if Kaumudi is his only daughter, Mihir still would not be her uncle, but cousin.

- The options are:

- Brother: Only if Kaumudi and Mihir had the same parents.

- Father: Doesn’t fit, as Mihir would have said "my daughter."

- Uncle: Only possible if Mihir is a generation older, which the statement does not imply.

- Cousin: Fits, as they share an uncle relationship through their parents.

The correct option is: Cousin (Option 4).
