Optimizing Rocket Payload Capacity

The problem revolves around understanding how a reduction in rocket mass at a specific point in time during ascent affects its payload capacity. The scenario presents a situation where a rocket is 100kg lighter but only for the last minute of a 4-minute ascent. The question is whether the relationship between mass reduction and additional payload capacity is linear and how to accurately calculate it.
