$" The Reqd. Lim.="sqrt3/6$ .

The Reqd. Limit $=lim_(xrarr0)(sqrt(x+3)-sqrt3)/x$

$=lim_(xrarr0) (sqrt(x+3)-sqrt3)/x xx (sqrt(x+3)+sqrt3)/(sqrt(x+3)+sqrt3)$

$=lim_(xrarr0) {(sqrt(x+3)^2-sqrt3^2)}/{x(sqrt(x+3)+sqrt3)}$

$=lim_(xrarr0) (x+3-3)/{x(sqrt(x+3)+sqrt3)}$

$=lim_(xrarr0) 1/((sqrt(x+3)+sqrt3)$

$=1/(sqrt3+sqrt3)=1/(2sqrt3)=sqrt3/6.$
