Detailed Solution

emitted photo-electrons moves upwards, when electric and magnetic fields are applied in vertically downward direction, no magnetic force acts and but electric force acts opposite to electric field i.e. upwards , hence electrons reach collector plate with grater velocity, 

hence Its kinetic energy increases, also stopping potential increases   

As intensity of radiation does not changed, photo-electric current does not changes
