A cabbie picked up a passenger at the Omni Hotel in downtown Chicago who wanted to go the O'Hare airport. Due to traffic, the average speed was rather low and the trip to the airport took 80 minutes. At the airport, the cabbie picked up another passenger who, coincidently, wanted to go back to the Omni Hotel. The taxi driver took the same route as before, had the same average speed, but this time the trip took 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Can you explain why?

1 hour = 60 minutes
therefor,
1 hour and 20 minutes = 60 minutes + 20 minutes
= 80 minutes

solution :-
Given :-

1)
distance between
Omni Hotel to O'Hare airport = O'Hare airport to Omni Hotel
while departing & while arriving respectively
{because of same route}
---------------------------
2)
Average Speed
while departing = while arriving
---------------------------
3)
Time Taken
80 minutes
while departing
---------------------------
4)
Time Taken
1 hour. 20 minutes
while arriving
-----------------------------
To explain :-
why
Time Taken
1 hour. 20 minutes & 80 minutes
while arriving and while departing respectively
-----------------

As 1 hour = 60 minutes
therefor,
1 hour and 20 minutes = 60 minutes + 20 minutes
= 80 minutes
hence, time taken while departing and arriving is same
------------------
final answer:-
Because, driver was good in driving
since he picked up and drop down both passengers safely
at their destinations,
and he keeped time as constant.
