Can you explain why &a doesn't represent base address?

Yes &a doesn't represents base address, it actually represents the address of the first element of the array.

because it represents pointer to whole array even if contains first element address for eg.
int a[3];// let location be 1000
&a=> 1st address
But
&a+1=> address 1012
int a[3];// let location be 1000
&a=> 1st address
But
&a+1=> address 1012

'&a' ->pointer to an array 'a'
'a' ->shows the base address of an array 'a'
'a' ->shows the base address of an array 'a'
