Explanation

In option A,

$58.326\div10 = 5.8326$
$463.9\div100 = 4.639$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Multiples of 72 = 2,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
But in a year we have only 12 months and in a month we have only 30 days
So We have
$24.3.72 = 24\times 3 = 72$
$18.4.72 = 18\times 4 = 72$
$12.6.72= 12\times6 = 72$
$9.8.72 = 9\times8 = 72$
$8.9.72 = 8\times 9 = 72$
$6.12.72 = 6\times 12 = 72$

D Correct answer
Explanation

The rule of thumb in multiplying decimal numbers is we'll count the decimals from the right-hand side and the total places in the decimal in the question will be in the answer.


Example $0.04$ has $2$ places decimal and $0.08$ also has $2$ places. So the total places are $4$. 

The product will have a decimal $4$ places from the right.
$0.04×0.08×4=0.0128$

So option D is the correct answer.
