Detailed Solution

Using Malus law,  I=I0cos2θ
As here polariser is rotating i.e. all the values of q  are possible. 
Iav=12π02πIdθ=12π02πI0cos2θdθ
On integration we get  Iav=I02
where  I0=EnergyArea × Time=PA=1033×104=103Wattm2
\   Iav=12×103=53Watt
and Time period  T=2πω=2×3.1431.4=15sec
\ Energy of light passing through the polariser per revolution  =Iav×Area×T=53×3×104×15=104J.
