Abstract
A Five dimensional spherically symmetric space-time model in Rosen's (1973) bimetric theory of gravitation is considered. It is shown that, in this theory, the geometry of the five dimensional space-time does not admit perfect fluid source. Hence a vacuum model is presented and studied. It is observed that in the case of stiff fluid we again get the vacuum model.
