When radiation of frequency $8 \times 10^{15} \ Hz$ is incident on a metal surface with a work function of $6.125 \ eV$,what is the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in $eV$?

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1:$ $A$ metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$ (the threshold frequency). If the incident frequency is now doubled,the photocurrent and the maximum kinetic energy are also doubled.
Statement $2:$ The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface is linearly dependent on the frequency of the incident light. The photocurrent depends only on the intensity of the incident light.
