In a certain chemical process a substance A reacts with and reduces a substance B. The masses of A and B at time t after the start of the process are x and y respectively. It is given that \(\frac{dy}{dt} = -0.2xy\) and \(x = \frac{10}{(1+t)^2}\). At the beginning of the process \(y = 100\).

(i) Form a differential equation in y and t, and solve this differential equation.

(ii) Find the exact value approached by the mass of B as t becomes large. State what happens to the mass of A as t becomes large.
