In this paper, a more-for-less (MFL) paradox situation is discussed for a multiobjective transportation problem with linear and fractional objective function. By using the MFL paradox in multi-objective programming, we can transfer more goods from source to destination with less or equal compromise optimal solution. In this approach, it is not necessary that a paradox is present in every objective. If a paradox is found in one of the objectives, then we can use this approach. We compare the paradoxical solution with compromise solution using ranking procedure [1] and show the superiority of the proposed paradoxical approach. For proper explanation of theory two examples are discussed.
