For this sort of problem always start with a balanced equation,
Mg + HCl -> H2 + MgCl2
which you need to balance.
molar mass for Mg is 24.3 g mole^-1
number of moles (M) of Mg is
M= 0.260 g / 24.3 g mole^-1
Then use the equation to find the number of moles of H2.
Under standard conditios one mole of any gas occupires 22.4 litres
Hence find the volume of gas.
