Correct Answer: 20
Solution : Given: The sum of the smallest and largest numbers is 44. Let the three numbers be $4x, 5x,$ and $7x$. The sum of the smallest and the largest numbers is 44. ⇒ $4x+7x=44$ ⇒ $11x=44$ ⇒ $x=4$ $\therefore$ The second smallest number $= 5x=5\times4=20$ Hence, the correct answer is 20.
