K listen carefully, this might get a little tricky.
We will follow the hint for now. I=V/R
Lets say V=20 Volts and R=4 ohms
we will get I=20/4 which implies I=5 A.
Now we will keep Voltage constant, and decrease the value of R from 4ohms to 2ohms.
we will now get I=20/2. which implies I=10A.

So as we decreased the value of the R, we got an increased value of I, provided V is kept constant.

Hope that helped. Any doubts? please ask.
