P=V*V/R HERE POWER IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO R P=I*I*R HERE IT IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO R WE KNOW THAT P=V*V/R AND I*I*R HOW CAN R BE DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL IN ONE CASE AND INVERSE IN OTHER

Recall Ohm's law:
V=IR
So you have to consider two cases: is voltage going to vary with resistance or is current (and the other stays constant). If voltage varies, then you would look at the power equation
P = I^2 R
In which all variables other than P and R are constant. Then P is proportional to R
If the current varies, you would choose the other equation:
P = V^2 / R
In which (again) all variables (V) other than P and R are constant.
So, P can be both directly and indirectly proportional to R, depending on the situation.
