First consider (1) alone.
It is given that QR is equal to RS.
We need to know x.
Obviously (1) alone is not sufficient because suppose we move point U more towards the right, S remaining the same, x will increase.
Next consider (2) alone.
It says ST is equal to TU.
Even (2) alone will not be sufficient because suppose we move point Q downwards, more towards point P, S remaining same, the value of x will decrease.
Next combine both statements together and check.
On combining, we have that QR = RS and ST = TU.
Let angle PTR be a.
So angle UST is (180 - a)/2 = 90 - a/2. (since triangle SUT is isosceles).
Angle PRT is 180 - (90 + a) = 90 - a.
So angle RSQ is {180 - (90 - a)}/2 = 45 + a/2.
Now 45 + a/2 + x + 90 - a/2 = 180.
Or x = 45.
So both statements together are sufficient to answer the question.

The correct answer is (C).
