Total weight is the mass per metre multiplied by the length and the number of pieces. Ten pieces of MPC 200 at six metres each is 22.3 × 6 × 10 = 1,338 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: 28.4 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ is 22.29 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 MPC 200 a mass of 22.3 kg per metre. Its printed cross-sectional area of 28.4 cm² agrees: 28.4 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ works out at 22.29 kg per metre.
133.80 kg. Mass per metre times length: 22.3 × 6. Ten such pieces come to 1338 kg.
200 mm deep and 75 mm wide, with a 6.2 mm web and 11.4 mm flanges.

Log in to QuickBOQ →Where these figures come from. IS 808 Table 8 - Parallel Flange Channels Section properties are facts published in the standards, and they are reproduced here as printed. Where a standard contradicts itself, both of its figures are shown and neither is corrected.
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run against them, and the findings those checks produced — which rows disagree with themselves, which figures were superseded by amendment, and which could not be read — are QuickBOQ’s work, and so is this wording.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.
