Total weight is the mass per metre multiplied by the length and the number of pieces. Ten pieces of 200x100x10 at six metres each is 41.94 × 6 × 10 = 2,516 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: 53.43 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ is 41.94 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 4923 : 2017 gives 200x100x10 a mass of 41.94 kg per metre. Its printed cross-sectional area of 53.43 cm² agrees: 53.43 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ works out at 41.94 kg per metre.
251.64 kg. Mass per metre times length: 41.94 × 6. Ten such pieces come to 2516 kg.

IS 4923:2017 Table 2 - Rectangular Hollow Sections (Amd. 2, weights per Amd. 3) 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run against them, and the findings those checks produced — which rows disagree with themselves, which figures were superseded by amendment, and which could not be read — are QuickBOQ’s work, and so is this wording.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.
