The population of a country at time t years is N millions. At any time, N is assumed to increase at a rate proportional to the product of N and (1 - 0.01N). When t = 0, N = 20 and \(\frac{dN}{dt} = 0.32\).

(i) Treating N and t as continuous variables, show that they satisfy the differential equation \(\frac{dN}{dt} = 0.02N(1 - 0.01N)\).

(ii) Solve the differential equation, obtaining an expression for t in terms of N.

\((iii) Find the time at which the population will be double its value at t = 0.\)
