I found this justification more useful out of others The key here is, when creating public IP Address which location will be used. 1. If template in question has below then location from the variables will be used. "resource":[ "location":"[variables('location')] ] 2. If template in question has below then location from the parameters will be used. "resource":[ "location": "[parameters('location')]" ] The question has 1 in the template. And the variables section in turn gets the location from resource group. So location of IP address will be same as location of resource group. The first 2 IP addresses will be created in resource Group RG1 in location West US The second 2 IP addresses will be created in resource Group RG2 in location East US hence provided answer is correct

I agree with your point but I have a doubt, can we have 2 resources with the same name? How could we have 2 Public IPs named IP1 in the same subscription.

Same name is not allowed in the same region, however can be with a different region in the same subscription. have 3 in the west US as one of them will fail and 3 in total as well, RG doesn't matter.

The answer is correct. I was happy with this easy question, but I see there's much confusion, therefore some explanation. You can ignore the location parameter, it's not used. The location of the resource group is copied. You create 2 IPs in RG1 (IP1 and IP2 in West US) and 2 IPs in RG2 (IP1 and IP3 in East US). That makes a total of 4. Names just have to be be unique in the same resource group. The MS Learn collections for all exams lack ARM templates. My tip: study this learning path. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/deploy-manage-resource-manager-templates/

I thought the same, tried it out, it acutally works. My learning: not all resource names need to be unique. I guess just the ones that are used in an url (e.g. storage accounts)

This template uses variable location while creating Public IP address. The value of location variable is set to resource group's location. The location variable is used while creating the public IP address. Basically, it uses resource group's location. Therefore, there will be two public IP addresses in West US. The template gets executed four times, so there will be total of four public IP addresses. Answer is correct
