    Answer:

    They met on Sunday for the first time.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This can be found out by taking the LCM

    The factors of 6 = 1*2*3

    The factors of 4= 1*2*2

    LCM = 2*2*3= 12

    They both will meet on the 12 day for the second time.

    If Thursday is the 12th day  then counting backwards , they met on Sunday for the first time.
