Answer 1

This will work for duplicate record as well as nth highest salary just need to play with take and skip thats all for ex below is for 3 rd highest salary with duplicate record present in table-

emplist.OrderByDescending(x => x.Salary).Select(x=>x.Salary).Distinct().Take(3).Skip(2).First();
