1. Introduction
A metric space is just a set X equipped with a function d of two variables which measures the distance between points: d(x, y) is the distance between two points x and y in X. It turns out that if we put mild and natural conditions on the function d, we can develop a general notion of distance that covers distances between number, vectors, sequences, functions, sets and much more. The first important result in the theory of fixed point of compatible mappings was obtained by Gerald Jungck in 1986 [4] as a generalization of commuting mappings. In 1993 Jungck, Murthy and Cho [5] introduced the concept of compatible mappings of type (A) by generalizing the definition of weakly uniformly contraction maps. Pathak and Khan [2] introduced the concept of A-compatible and S-compatible by splitting the definition of compatible mappings of type (A). Fixed point results of compatible mappings are found in [1-8][1]. Shahidur Rahman [9] proved a common fixed point theorem for A-Compatible and S-Compatible mapping. We will generalized the result of Shahidur Rahman [9].

3. Main Result
Lemma: Let A, B, S, T, D and V be self maps of a complete metric space 
satisfying the following conditions:
(1)
and 
(2)

Where,
and 
(3) Let
then by (1) there exists

and for
there exists
such that
and so on. Continuing this process we define a sequence
in X such that
and
Then the sequence
is Cauchy sequence in 
By condition (2) and (3),we have
Where


Since
and 
In order to satisfy the inequation, one value of λ will be positive and the other will be negative. We also note that the sum and product of the two values of λ is less than 1 and -1 respectively. Neglecting the negative value, we have

Hence

(3) one of AD, BV, S or T is continuous.
(4) [AD,S] and [BV,T] are S-compatible mapping on X.

Let S be a continuous mapping, since AD and S are S-compatible mapping on

as 
Now by condition (2) of lemma, we have
Letting

Which is a contradiction.
Hence
Now by (2), we have
Letting

Hence 
Now since by condition (1),
Also T is self map of X so there exists a point
such that
Moreover by condition (2) we obtain,
Hence
i.e.,
By condition (4), we have 
Hence
i.e., 
Now by condition (2), we have
Which is a contradiction.
Hence
i.e., 
Now putting x = Dz and
in (2),then we have
Letting n→∞,we have

Hence

Now putting

Hence
. Since BVz = z which implies that Bz = z.
Therefore z is a common fixed point of A, D, B, V, S and T.
Uniqueness: Finally, to prove the uniqueness of z, suppose w be another common fixed point of A, D, B, V, S and T. Then we have,
Which is a contradiction. Hence 
Thus z is a unique common fixed point of A, D, B, V, S and T.
