What do you do in this? Should we mention that there is an error in the question, correct it and attempt it or leave it altogether?

If you have a better alternate essay to write, then it would be better of not picking such one, otherwise you should write the essay referring the original author. The examiner probably knows if there is any error in question paper, but there is element of risk too. Rest depends on the situation.
