why did transition elements show variable oxidation state?

They show variable oxidation state because transition metals have (n-1)d orbitals empty that are closer to the outermost ns orbital in energy levels. These orbitals are never fully filled. So they can always accommodate more electrons in (n-1)d orbitals.
