Assertion (A) : Gf and Gc correlate positively with each other across the age levels but with moderate magnitude.
Reason (R) : Gf and Gc have different growth patterns. Gc grows rapidly in childhood and adolescence whereas Gf grows rapidly during adulthood.

Fluid Intelligence (Gf) and Crystallized Intelligence (Gc) Statements
This analysis examines the validity of Assertion (A) and Reason (R) concerning fluid intelligence (Gf) and crystallized intelligence (Gc).
Assertion (A) Validity: Gf-Gc Correlation
Assertion (A) states a positive, moderate correlation between Gf and Gc across ages. This statement is accurate. Research shows that while Gf (reasoning ability) and Gc (knowledge base) are distinct, they tend to be positively related, indicating some level of interdependence.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
Reason (R) Validity: Gf-Gc Growth Patterns
Reason (R) claims Gc grows fast in childhood/adolescence, and Gf grows fast in adulthood. This statement is incorrect regarding Gf's developmental trajectory:
- Gc Development: Crystallized intelligence builds over time and shows substantial growth during younger years and continuing into adulthood.
- Gf Development: Fluid intelligence, involving novel problem-solving, typically peaks in early adulthood and may decline afterward, rather than growing rapidly during adulthood.
Because the description of Gf's growth pattern is inaccurate, Reason (R) is false.
Conclusion: Statement Assessment
With Assertion (A) being true and Reason (R) being false, the correct option reflects this finding.
