Discussion
X and Y are two brothers. B is the brother of A and A is the mother of X. How is B related to Y ?
Answer: A
B is Y's maternal uncle.
A is the mother of X, and X and Y are brothers, so A is also the mother of Y. B is the brother of A, which makes B the brother of Y's mother: Y's maternal uncle.
B cannot be Y's mother, since B is a brother, a male. He is not Y's brother or father: he belongs to the generation of Y's mother, on her side of the family.
Drawing a quick family tree helps: put A at the top with her children X and Y below, and B beside A as her brother. B is then one generation above Y, on the mother's side.
