From the first statement, below conclusion can be drawn:
R_PQ.
as the statement dictates R_ _Q and R_P.
Whereas from the second statement below are two possibilities:
PTQ or P_TQ.
As the statement dictates QT|TQ and P_T.
R_PQ.
as the statement dictates R_ _Q and R_P.
Whereas from the second statement below are two possibilities:
PTQ or P_TQ.
As the statement dictates QT|TQ and P_T.

From the second statement - Q is to the immediate left of T who is second to the right of P. It is not clear whether is it Q or T who is second to the right of P. There is an ambiguity in the statement.

It is not necessary to consider the 2nd sentence as the letter immediate to the right of P can be found only using 1st statement.
