A variable API_KEY is defined at the instance level with value 'instance-key'. The same variable is also defined at the project level with value 'project-key'. What value will be used in the pipeline?

The pipeline fails due to a conflict

A GitLab administrator defines an instance-level variable GLOBAL_TIMEOUT set to '3600'. A group 'dev' defines a group-level variable GLOBAL_TIMEOUT set to '1800'. A project 'dev/proj1' does not define this variable. What is the value of GLOBAL_TIMEOUT in a pipeline for 'dev/proj1'?

The pipeline fails due to a conflict.

A user manually triggers a pipeline from the GitLab UI. They set a pipeline variable named TARGET_ENV to 'production'. The project has a project-level variable TARGET_ENV set to 'staging', and the .gitlab-ci.yml file defines TARGET_ENV as 'development'. What value will the job see?

The pipeline fails due to a conflict.

Where would you define a variable that should be available to all projects in a specific group and its subgroups?

In the group's Settings > CI/CD > Variables

In each project's Settings > CI/CD > Variables

In the Admin Area > Settings > CI/CD
