How many plaintext blocks will be corrupted


Problem

Let M be a message consisting of b DES blocks (say n = 100). Alice encrypts M using CBC mode and transmits the resulting ciphertext C to Bob. Due to a hardware error, ciphertext block number n/2 is corrupted during transmission. All other ciphertext blocks are transmitted and received correctly. Once Bob decrypts the received ciphertext, how many plaintext blocks will be corrupted?
