Okay this is very simple problem.
If you can prove it with first statement, then is automatically proves with second statement.
I have drawn an image and show the angles with various alphabets, as we can not draw angle symbol over here.
Now according to statement 1, angle QPR = 30 degree.
According to the property of triangle,
x + angle QPR + m + angle QSP = 180 degree
i.e. x + 30 + m + 90 = 180
i.e. x + m + 120 = 180
and also,
x + y + angle PSR = 180 degree.
i.e. x + y + 90 = 180
equating both statements,
x + m + 120 = x + y + 90
x will cancel out from both sides...
therefore, y - m = 30
So it clearly states that angle PRS is 30 degree greater than angle PQR
So, statement 1 is alone to derive the answer.
Now, according to second statement,
angle PQR + angle PRQ = 150 degree,
it means, angle QPR = 30 degree (by the property of triangle).
So, now the situation becomes again as statement 1, and it can be proved again.
So, both statement are alone sufficient.
