Find $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2n-1}+\sqrt{2n+1}}\right)$$

Hint: Try rationalizing the denominators.

From the Hint given by @cameron Williams, I did the following. $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1}-\sqrt{3}}{-2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{5}}{-2}+\ldots+\frac{\sqrt{2n-1}-\sqrt{2n+1}}{-2}\right)$$ Now the second and consectives gets cancelled. So, $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\left(\frac{1}{-2}-\frac{\sqrt{2n+1}}{-2}\right)=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\sqrt{n}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2+\frac{1}{n}}}{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$
