Abstract
In this paper, the Lie symmetries and the conserved quantities of the holonomic variable mass systems are studied. By using the invariance of the ordinary differential equations under the infinitesimal transformations, the determining equations and the conserved quantities are given. And an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.
