according to your formula i m getting 56.16 minutes of backup,is it correct ??total ampere hour i have taken is 26ah * 6=156

Total kWh = (12 * 26 * 6) / 1000 = 1.8 kWh, thus you would get 1.8 hours of backup if the UPS was 100% efficient (which it is not) and you completely discharged the batteries (which you shouldn't do). Taking those factors into account I would estimate about 1 hour of backup.
