Southern hemisphere lies to the South of the equator and holds around 90% of South America in it.
Brazil being in South America does lie in the southern hemisphere but a part of it lies in western and northern hemisphere too.
Thus, Brazil is located in Southern Hemisphere is TRUE

Brazil is located both in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This is because it is dissected both by the Equator as well as the tropic of Capricorn. It is large country covering almost 50% of South America. The latitudinal extent of Brazil is 5 degrees 16 minutes 20 seconds in the Northern Hemisphere to 33 degrees 44 minutes 32 seconds in the Southern Hemisphere. The larger area of it lies in the Southern Hemisphere.
