When the intensity of a light source is increased

Assertion : The increase in intensity of incidence light decreases the kinetic energy of emitted electrons. Reason : When frequency of light increases , the intensity of light increases.

Number of ejected photoelectorns increases with an increase in intensity of light but not with the increase in frequency of light. Why?
