MySQL Cluster - Management Node Redundancy
If you have split exactly in half brain situation MySQL Cluster resolves it designating one node as master. If you look into ndb_mgm output below you will notice asterisk at the end of node 10 line. It marks master.

It means that if your cluster will be split in two equal parts the half which contains master will continue running. Nodes from the other half will be shut down.
