Let’s break this down:

- The relation seems to be: subtract the sum of the digits from the number.

- 13 : 4 ? 13 - (1+3) = 13 - 4 = 9. Hmm, doesn’t fit.

- Let’s try dividing: 13 divided by 4 is 3.25. Also doesn’t fit neatly.

- Now look at 16 : 5 ? 16 - (1+6) = 16 - 7 = 9. Still off.

- Is it “number of letters in the English spelling”?

- Thirteen = 8 letters, Nineteen = 8, Sixteen = 7. Doesn’t fit with answers.

- Try dividing the first by the second: 13 / 4 = 3.25, 16 / 5 = 3.2. Pretty close.

- If we want similar value for 19, try options:

- 19/6 ˜ 3.17

- 19/2 = 9.5

- 19/3 ˜ 6.33

- 19/5 = 3.8

So, for 16 : 5 (16/5 = 3.2), 13 : 4 (13/4 = 3.25), 19/? ? 19/6 = 3.17. The relation is:

- First number divided by second ˜ 3.2 - 3.25

Therefore, option 1: 6 is correct.
