Detailed Solution

In a series combination,

Current $i = \frac{nE}{nr + R}$

In a parallel combination,

Current $i = \frac{E}{\frac{r}{n} + R} = \frac{nE}{r + nR}$

When external resistance is large compared to internal resistance of cell, higher power is delivered in series due to higher current and vice versa. So, both statements are true.
