Multiply root of n+1 + root n to both numerator and denominator .
denominator = 1 and nominator= root(n+1) + root n

[spoiler]Hence E it is!![/spoiler]
If OA is A, IMO B
If OA is B, IMO C
If OA is C, IMO D
If OA is D, IMO E
If OA is E, IMO A

FML!! :/

e. root(n+1) + root n
Multiply the numerator and denominator by √(n+1) + √n, we get √(n+1) + √n/[√(n+1) - √n] * [√(n+1) + √n] = √(n+1) + √n/[n + 1 - n] = √(n+1) + √n

The correct answer is E.
