As $R^2$ increases, $R^2_{adj}$ increases too.
Is that statement true?

$\begingroup$ Is that probably a self-study question? Consider tagging it as such. Regarding the question, open up any econometrics textbook, and you will find the answer. $\endgroup$– Richard HardyCommented Feb 28, 2020 at 10:35

Note that $R_{\text{adj}}^2 = 1-(1-R^2){n-1 \over n-p-1}$
So, if you fix $n$ and $p$, but move your data points about to increase $R^2$, then yes, adjusted $R^2$ must increase.
