1. yes
2. "yes" (some people use it, but it'd be better if you used liang3, since mao2 is a measure word)
3. yes (note that there is no mao2, hence no measure word to use liang3)
4. no (liang always comes with a measure word)

Question - 2.2 yuan = ?
1. liang3 kuai4 liang3 mao2 qian2. <--- yes, like 2 dollars and 20 cents.
2. liang3 kuai4 er4 mao2 qian2. <--- yes, like two twenty
3. liang3 kuai4 er4. <--- yes
4. liang3 kuai4 liang3. <--- Technically, it is right. But in china, people usually do not speak it in this way.
