Abstract
In this paper an algorithm to solve a Bilevel Programming Problem in which the leader’s and the follower’s both objective functions are linear fractional is developed. The algorithm is based on Preemptive Goal Programming. The Bilevel Programming problem is solved by converting it into a goal programming problem. An example to illustrate it is also presented.
