We have obtained static and spherically-symmetric solutions of the gravitational field equations for isotropic and anisotropic distribution of matter in the context of higher-dimensional bimetric theory of gravitation under the assumption that the physical metric admits a one-parameter group of conformal motion. The solutions agree with Einstein's general relativity for physical systems such as the solar system. This work is an extension of the previous work of Shri Ram and Pandey (Astrophys. Space Sci. 127 (1986) 9) for four-dimensional space time.
