(1) $$\frac{p}{10^4}$$ has a thousandths digit of 6.
Let $$\frac{p}{10^4}$$ be ab.cd6efg, so p=ab.cd6e*10^4=abcd6e.fg.
The tens digit of abcd6e.fg is 6

(2) $$0.1p$$ has a hundreds digit of 6.
Let 0.1p=ab6cd, so p=ab6cd0, so tens digit is d whhich cannot be determined with given info

How can you guess that the thousand digit after decimal is 6.

p/10^4 can be 6234.mnop then how can you say tens digit is 6.

secondly why cant p/0.1= abc6.mnop then tens digit is 6.

(2) $$0.1p$$ has a hundreds digit of 6.
Let 0.1p=ab6cd, so p=ab6cd0, so tens digit is d whhich cannot be determined with given info
