An unpolarized light of certain intensity passes through a combination of two polarizers whose transmission axes are at \(30^\circ\) and \(90^\circ,\) respectively, with respect to the horizontal axis. A third polarizer with its transmission axis at \(60^\circ\) with the horizontal axis is placed between the two existing polarizers. The ratio of the output intensities with and without the third polarizer is:
1. \(3/4\)
2. \(4/3\)
3. \(9/4\)
4. \(4/9\)
