In this paper the generalized symmetric fuzzy numbers are brought into the knowledge and a new ranking function was proposed for it. Using this ranking function, any kind of fuzzy linear programming problem can be solved. The proposed ranking function is illustrated by the numerical example. Moreover, Comparison of optimal solution of proposed and existing methods are discussed. The proposed method is posing no difficulty to understand and execute the fuzzy optimal solution of a symmetric fuzzy linear programming problem in real world situations.
