Hi Raja,

ABAP and BASIS is two different things in SAP world. At one side ABAP is complete programming where at other side BASIS is completely into administration. If you cousin is having interest in writing codes/programming then he can go for ABAP and if he wants much into SAP system sdministration then BASIS will be the option for him.

Before making a decision go through the basic information on both ABAP and BASIS and then you will have an idea which could be the best suited option. On the below link you will find info about both ABAP and BASIS:
