26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

***********************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE OF LETTER × NUMBER OF LETTER IN THE WORD

AS

PATNA :

= 16 +1 +20  + 14 + 1 = 52

AND 52 × 5 =260

GOA :

=  7 + 15 + 1  = 23

= 23 × 3   = 69

SIMILARLY

RANCHI :

= 18 + 1 + 14 + 3 +  8  + 9 = 53

= 53 × 6 = 318

HENCE 318 IS CORRECT ANSWER
