An unpolarized light passes through three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make an angle of $30^o$,$60^o$,and $30^o$ with the $y$-axis in the same sense. What fraction of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system?

Three polaroid sheets are co-axially placed as indicated in the diagram. Pass axes of the polaroids $2$ and $3$ make $30^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with the pass axis of polaroid sheet $1$. If $I_0$ is the intensity of the incident unpolarised light entering sheet $1$,the intensity of the emergent light through sheet $3$ is
