    Explanation

    Let's call the speed of the slower train "x". The speed of the faster train is x + 9 km/hr. Travelling for 4 hours, the distance covered by the slower train is 4x km. And the distance covered by the faster train is 4(x + 9) km. They travelled 300km in 4 hours(i.e at 12noon), so we can simplify: 4x + 4(x + 9)=300 ⇒ 4x + 4x + 36 = 300 ⇒ 8x = 300-36 ⇒ 8x= 264 ∴ x = 264/8 = 33km/hr. Then, the faster train is x+9 = 33+9 = 42 km/hr.
