A common denominator of 6 and 4 is 12. That is the Least Common Denominator, the LCD. In 12 days it would be the 27th of February. There you go.

Answer:

27th February is answer .

Explanation:

Brain has math test = after every six days

His Science test = after every four days

Next common multiplier will be chosen by taking their Least common multiplier is

6 = 2x3

4 = 2x2

LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

After every 12 days Brain will have both test of Math and Science

If first test was on 15th Feb then next both test will be

15th + 12th = 27th February

Next date for both test will be 27th February.
