if you want highest salary for each department then you need to run the following query,
select deptno,max(sal) from emp
group by deptno

If you want deptartment id and maximum salary of depts whose maximum salary is maximum irrespective of dept then run the following query,

select distinct deptno,sal from emp
where sal = (select max(sal) from emp)
