The second one makes better sense. Though we can understand that the book is placed on top of the sofa without it being mentioned, grammatically pointing out the position is recommended.
Example:
Ms Abigail: Ms Menma, where's your book?
Menma: My book is placed on top of your desk, Ms Abigail.
The first one could also be written as, "My book is placed on the sofa." This would make it easier to understand.
Example:
Lauren: Menma, where's the book?
Menma: I placed it on the sofa!
In a casual conversation, you can use "...is on the sofa."
Example:
Menma: Where's your book?
Ren: It's on the sofa!

1) I placed my book on the sofa.
2) I placed my book on top of the sofa.
Do the above sentences have the same meaning?

@ptinagran Yes. When we say "placed on the sofa" we know it could only be on top of it. So when we are having a casual conversation, we can omit mentioning the specific location.
But while writing an official document, it's advised to use "placed on top" as we are required to be precise.
