The phrase "my brother and friend" refers to one person (i.e., your brother, who is also your friend), so it's considered singular. Therefore, the singular verb "helps" is used (not "help"). If you were talking about two different people, you would say: "My brother and my friend help me in my studies."
My brother and friend ______ me in my studies?
