Hamming codes are used for error detection and correction. If the minimum hamming distance is m, then the number of errors correctable is—

1. equal to m
2. less than m/2
3. equal to 2m
4. greater than m

Correct Option: B

Hamming codes are used for error detection and correction. If the minimum Hamming distance is m, then the number of error correctable is less than m/2.
