A variable-mass system is exemplified by rockets, which shed considerable amounts of mass as fuel during flight.

In case of a rocket taking off, the mass of the fuel is large and cannot be neglected. As the rocket starts moving, a large amount of fuel is getting burnt out from the nozzle, hence the total mass decreases. Hence it is a variable mass system.
