Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Yes -
A reservation is where you commit to pay for a resource (for example a virtual machine) for one or three years. This gives you a discounted price on the resource for the reservation period.

Box 2: No -
There are other factors that influence the cost of a virtual machine such as the virtual hard disks attached to the virtual machine. You could have multiple virtual machines with the same 'size' (B2S in this case) but with different virtual hard disk configurations.

Box 3: Yes -
When a virtual machine is stopped (deallocated), the virtual machine is unloaded/dismounted from the physical server in Azure. In this state, you are not charged for the virtual machine itself. However, you are still charged for the storage costs of the virtual hard disks attached to the virtual machine.
If the virtual machine is stopped but not deallocated (this happens if you shut down the virtual machine from the operating system of the virtual machine), the virtual machine is still mounted on the physical server in Azure and you are charged for the virtual machine itself as well as the storage costs. To ensure that a virtual machine is 'stopped (deallocated)', you need to stop the virtual machine in the Azure portal.

YES , NO , YES Is certainly correct. for second question, B2S VM are Burstable VM size and is ideal for workloads that do not need the full performance of the CPU continuously, like web servers, proof of concepts, small databases and development build environments. These workloads typically have burstable performance requirements. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes-b-series-burstable

For question 1: You will not necessarily pay less. It depends on how much you use. You pay a lower rate with a reservation. However, if your usage is very low, you'd pay less with pay-as-you-go.

Funny thing is, Box 1 does not consider variables and you have to answer that Reservations are cheaper (I could pay less in payg if it was a dev vm that I don't turn on that much), but Box 2 does consider variables such as the disks.

WRONG! YNY is correct. You continue to pay for storage costs of a VM as they are persistant virtual machines. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/itops-talk-blog/am-i-billed-for-an-azure-virtual-machine-if-it-s-shut-down/ba-p/2456669 "While the VM is shut down, there is still a storage cost for the disk that is holding the virtual hard drive file, as well as any other data storage disks you may have created, as you are still consuming file storage."
