If we guide ourselves with the Moh´s scale:

Material scratches apatite → material is harder than 5.

Material is scratched by corundum → material is softer than 9.

Conclusion:

The hardness of the unknown material stands between 5 and 9.

Note:  

Both apatite and corundum are defining materials (reference materials in the Moh´s scale). So, you can also give an answer using defining materials:

"It can either be an orthoclase feldspar, a quartz or a topaz".

Hope it helped,

In which of the following relationships is one organism always benefited while the other organism is always harmed
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Parasitism

Explanation:

Parasitism is the form of mutual relationship between two organisms which occurs in such a way that one organism always get benefit and the other always gets harm. The one getting harm may or may not be killed due to it.

There are many common parasitic relationships we see in eco system.For example, when a tick sucks blood out of a dog. it is causing harm to dog by decreasing the content of blood however getting benefit for itself since blood is its food and the nutrients present in blood are source of energy for tick.

Similarly, Malaria is caused in human by a parasite called plasmodium. It enters into the blood and causes a disease called Malaria which can even lead to the death of affected individual,the parasite itself stays healthy and gets benefit.

Hope it help!
