So, the rules might be flexible. But if I am to face such a situation in an exam (such as GMAT, or CAT in India), what am I supposed to do? Should I identify it as a mistake or not? The paper just says identify the wrong statement(s).

If there is a mistake in that sentence, then I have already given you the correction for it.

I wouldn't. Once you start with the "one" business, you're committed, like it or not, and it has to stay "one" to the end. To go to "he", you'd have to start "A person must learn ...."

Yes, if you decide to use 'one', be consistent.
