A. Gray presented an interesting O(n) invariant decomposition of the covariant derivative of the Ricci tensor. Manifolds whose Ricci tensor satisfies the defining property of each orthogonal class are called Einstein-like manifolds. In the present paper, we answered the following question: Under what condition(s), does a factor manifold Mi,i = 1,2 of a doubly warped product manifold M =f2 M1 x f1 M2 lie in the same Einstein- like class of M? By imposing sufficient and necessary conditions on the warping functions, an inheritance property of each class is proved. As an application, Einstein-like doubly warped product space-times of type A,B or P are considered.
