Answer: After 12 days, they receive both again.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Every 4 th day grocery store gets a shipment of pineapples.

Every 6 th day grocery store gets a shipment of bananas.

We need to find the number of days that they will receive both again.

We will do "LCM" of 4 and 6.

L.C.M. of 4 and 6 = 12

So, after 12 days, they receive both again.
