As printed in IS 808 Table 6 - Sloping Flange Channels. 75 mm deep, 40 mm wide. Units are shown on every row, because the two standards on this site use different ones for the radius of gyration.

Total weight is the mass per metre multiplied by the length and the number of pieces. Ten pieces of MC 75 at six metres each is 7.14 × 6 × 10 = 428 kg. There is nothing else to it — the standard publishes the mass, so no one needs to compute it from the area.
You can check that mass against the area on this page: 9.08 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ is 7.13 kg/m. Every row in this dataset was checked that way, which is how the contradictions flagged on some of these pages were found.

IS 808 : 2021 gives MC 75 a mass of 7.14 kg per metre. Its printed cross-sectional area of 9.08 cm² agrees: 9.08 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ works out at 7.13 kg per metre.
42.84 kg. Mass per metre times length: 7.14 × 6. Ten such pieces come to 428 kg.
It is the same section under the name IS 808 : 2021 gives it — the 2021 revision of IS 808 dropped the "IS" prefix, so a drawing saying ISMC 75 means this section. Check the edition before assuming the figures match, though: this page publishes the current tables, and a great many tables in circulation were copied from the 1989 edition.
75 mm deep and 40 mm wide, with a 4.8 mm web and 7.5 mm flanges.

What is ours. The selection and arrangement of these tables, the checks run against them, and the findings those checks produced — which rows disagree with themselves, which figures were superseded by amendment, and which could not be read — are QuickBOQ’s work, and so is this wording. Quote the numbers freely; they belong to everyone. Copying the compilation and the commentary is a different thing, and we would rather you linked to it.
