    Correct option is A

    Given:  40 ÷ 20 × 10 + 10 – 5 
    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}​​

    '×' means '–'
    '+' means '÷'
    So, rewriting the expression:
    40÷20×10+10-5
    Becomes:
    40+20-10÷10×5
    40 + 20- 1 × 5
    40 + 20- 5
    60 - 5 
    55
    Thus, the Correct Option is (a) 55.
