Objective: To present a new solution to the field equations obtained for higher dimensional LRS Bianchi type-I universe generated by means of a cloud of strings with particles connected to them with bulk viscosity in general relativity. Methods: To obtain the solutions of field equations of higher dimensional LRS Bianchi type-I universe we consider that the shear scalar of the model is proportional to the scalar expansion of the model (σ αθ ), which leads to, c = b ∧ n. The physical and geometrical behaviors of the model universe are studied by comparing with the present cosmological scenario and observations. Findings: It is observed that our model is anisotropic, expanding and decelerates at early stage and then accelerates in late universe giving the inflation model universe. Novelty: We obtained new solution to the field equations for higher dimensional LRS Bianchi type-I generated by means of a cloud of strings with bulk viscous fluid in general relativity.
