Two linear polarisers are placed coaxially. The transmission axis of the first polariser is at $30^{\circ}$ from the vertical,while the second one is at $60^{\circ}$ from the vertical,both in the clockwise sense. If an unpolarised beam of light of intensity $I_{0}=20 \,W/m^{2}$ is incident on this pair of polarisers,then the intensities $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ transmitted by the first and second polarisers respectively,will be close to:
