Answer 1

Consider 15.7.1. Evaluate Left-Hand Operand section of java specs where it says - First, the left-hand operand is evaluated to produce a variable then the value of the right-hand operand are used to perform the binary operation indicated by the compound assignment operator

In your case it is a = 10 * ((11)+10) = 201
