Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a viscoelastic fluid in presence of a horizontal magnetic field has been investigated. The Graphical representations of numerical solution of the derived generating equations evolved have been presented with the analysis of results obtained and presentation of numerical data. It has been seen that effect of magnetic field under certain condition acts as a destabilising agent. When horizontal magnetic field varies in vertical direction, the magnetic field affects on two-dimensional disturbances perpendicular to the lines of force. The corresponding stability conditions, dependent on magnetic field and gravity wave, but independent of viscosity and viscoelasticity are derived. Also it is observed that the stability of equilibrium is dependent on sufficiently large magnetic field, viscosity and viscoelasticity for exponential density and viscosity stratification.

It has been seen that effect of magnetic field under certain condition acts as a destabilising agent. When horizontal magnetic field varies in vertical direction, the magnetic field affects on two-dimensional disturbances perpendicular to the lines of force. The corresponding stability conditions, dependent on magnetic field and gravity wave, but independent of viscosity and viscoelasticity are derived. Also it is observed that the stability of equilibrium is dependent on sufficiently large magnetic field, viscosity and viscoelasticity for exponential density and viscosity stratification.
