Try this:
mylist = {{1, a, b1, c1}, {1, a, b2, c2, c3}, {1, a,
b3, c4}, {2, b, z1}, {2, b, z2, c3}, {2, b, z3, c4, c5}, {2, b, z4},
{3,
x, y1, c1, c5}, {3, x, y2, c3, c2}, {3, x, y3, c1}, {3,
x, y4, c3, c1, c2}}
I have made the sublists of different length
Map[{#, Apply[Plus, Cases[mylist, {#, x_, y_, ___} -> x y]]} &, {1, 2,
3}]
{{1, a b1 + a b2 + a b3}, {2, b z1 + b z2 + b z3 +b z4}, {3, x y1 + x
y2 + x y3 + x y4}}
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Brian
