Resistance issue in a triac-optocoupler switch

I have tried many resistors (calculated myself) to limit current in the optocoupler and triac, but failed to carry the load for a long time. … At one time either resistor get burned or triac gets too hot. Kindly suggest what resistance I should use in the resistors with '?'. Any other suggestions are also welcome. …
