Suresh et al. (Solving intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problems by ranking function, Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems, 27, 3081-3087, 2014) proposed the ranking function for comparing triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) and applied this ranking function to solve different types of intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problems (IFLPPs). In this note, it is pointed out that the ranking function proposed by authors is not valid. Hence, the results of intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problems, obtained by using this ranking function, are also not valid. Further, the exact ranking function is obtained by modifying existing ranking function and using the exact ranking function, the exact results of intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problems considered by Suresh et al., are obtained.

In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problems with mixed constraints. By using the proposed method the fuzzy optimal solution of FFLP problems with mixed constraints occurring in real life situations can be easily obtained. To illustrate the proposed method a numerical example is solved. The proposed method can be easily applied to find the fuzzy optimal solution of FFLP problems occurring in real life situations.
