Since the foul was a dead ball foul, it had no effect on the play as it was run so A will get the first down. A few years ago the rule was changed on when to set the chains. Now it almost always will be 1 & 10. For it to be 1 & 25, the chains would have had to have been moved for the 1&10 and then the referee would have had to signal ready for play before the dead ball happened.
