The answer is NOT 50cm.

Consider a rectangular open bath tub with a (constant) bottom surface area of A. With the tap open and the drain closed, it takes 20min to fill the bath to a height of 50cm. If we then close the tap and open the drain, the bath empties in 32min. The cross sectional area of the drain is B with BA and the drain is open to the atmosphere. What is the final water level if we open the tap with the drain open as well?
