Detailed Solution

For photoelectric effect, eVs = KEmax ….. (i)
Where Vs is the stopping potential.
For incident wave of frequency  υ,hυ=ϕ+KE.......(ii)
Where ϕ  is the work function. By equation (i) and (ii),  eVs=hυϕ
Vs=(he)V+(ϕe)  in this, slope =(he)  
As slope is independent of the value of work function, 

Slope of stopping potential of gold = Slope of stopping potential of aluminium. 

Sum  =he+he=2he
