When a monochromatic point source of light is placed at $0.1\, m$ from a photocell,the cut-off voltage and saturation current are $0.8\, V$ and $24\, mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed at $0.2\, m$ away from the photocell,then the cut-off voltage and saturation current will be:

Photoelectric effect experiments are performed using three different metal plates $p, q$ and $r$ having work functions $\phi_p=2.0 \ eV, \phi_q=2.5 \ eV$ and $\phi_r=3.0 \ eV$,respectively. $A$ light beam containing wavelengths of $550 \ nm, 450 \ nm$ and $350 \ nm$ with equal intensities illuminates each of the plates. The correct $I-V$ graph for the experiment is:
