I am completely clueless about the approach to solve this question. I tried applying l ho'pital rule but am getting stuck.
Kindly help.

HINT:
Write $frac1{(1+x^2)^n} =e^{-nlog(1+x^2)}$.
Then note that all of the contribution to the value of the limit of interest comes from the integration around $0$.
So, heuristically we can approximate the integral of interest with its lower bound
$$sqrt n int_0^1 e^{-nlog(1+x)^2},dx approx sqrt n int_0^1 e^{-n x^2},dx$$
Can you finish now?
Alternatively, to be rigorous, just let $x=y/sqrt n$ in the original integral and apply the Dominated Convergence Theorem.
