Try this:

SELECT TA.Empname, TA.Salary FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Salary ASC) AS rownumber, Empname, Salary FROM Empdetails) AS TA WHERE rownumber = 6

The solution u have provided is wrong.
If the data is somthing like the foll:

EmpId EmpSal
1 1000.00
2 2000.00
3 3000.00
4 3000.00
5 4500.00
6 5000.00
7 6000.00
8 7000.00

it will return u wrong result..

OK, I suppose You want only the salary.
You would have to group the salary.

SELECT TA.Salary FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Salary ASC) AS rownumber, Salary FROM Empdetails GROUP BY Salary) AS TA WHERE rownumber = 6

I think the order by clause for the row_number() should be DESC ?

Good answer, except for ASC, which is a minor fix. 5!
