We have P =I^2R and P=V^2/R. It seems that P varies with R in two different ways. Is it a contradiction? Explain

No its not like that...Note that many times we encounter such Relations...

Here It depends on Which quantites you are going to compare...
Suppose we are going to Compare between Power P and Current I...Then remember that whatever quantity present in the relation of P and I will be considered as Constant..Then we make Comparision easily...
So In the relation of P and I are compared and Resistance R being constant here...

Simillarly if we compare the quantity Power P and Potential Difference V then again firstly we must have a relation betwenn them...which is P = V^2/R

Again here R is keeping Constant when P and V being compared....So there is no contradiction as u think here....It actually depends on Comparision etween the quantites...Hope you get..
