Intially I couldn't see how you got angle 1 + angle 6 to be 90.....but I got to open my eyes to see the bigger picture. Good explanation.
Definitely agree with C.

IMO C..too...gr8 effort ...clicking the image on web cam...
n thx...i m taking angles as RQS.....RSQ....taking 1,2,3, makes problem more easy..

it is C:
(1) <R + <T = 90 in which:

(2) <R = 180 - <RQS - <RSQ = 180 - 2<RSQ (as RQ = RS)
(3) <T = 180 - <UST - <SUT = 180 - 2<UST ( as ST = TU)

(1) + (2) + (3):
180 - 2<RSQ + 180 - 2<UST = 90
=>360 - 2(<RSQ + <UST) = 90
=> 360 - 2 (180 -x) = 90
=> x= 45

In the figure shown, what is the value of x?

$$x+\angle{QSR}+\angle{UST}=180$$ (straight line =180) and $$\angle{R}+\angle{T}=90$$ (as PRT is right angle)

(1) The length of line segment QR is equal to the length of line segment RS --> triangle QRS is isosceles --> $$\angle{RQS}=\angle{QSR}=\frac{180-\angle{R}}{2}$$ (as $$\angle{RQS}+\angle{QSR}+\angle{R}=180$$ --> $$2*\angle{QSR}+\angle{R}=180$$ --> $$\angle{QSR}=\frac{180-\angle{R}}{2}$$). Not sufficient.

(2) The length of line segment ST is equal to the length of line segment TU --> triangle UST is isosceles --> $$\angle{SUT}=\angle{UST}=\frac{180-\angle{T}}{2}$$. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) $$x+\angle{QSR}+\angle{UST}=180$$ --> $$x+\frac{180-\angle{R}}{2}+\frac{180-\angle{T}}{2}=180$$ --> $$x+\frac{360-(\angle{R}+\angle{T})}{2}=180$$ --> since $$\angle{R}+\angle{T}=90$$ --> $$x+\frac{360-90}{2}=180$$ --> $$x=45$$. Sufficient.
