If you combine 1.3.2:
"Each team may use any referee-approved ball of its choice to free kick or start a new series of downs."

with 5.2.6
"After a series of downs ends, a new series with first and 10 yards to gain is awarded unless one of the following is involved: a try; a field goal; or a free kick after a safety, fair catch, or awarded fair catch."

you conclude that since following a touchdown by A, a try is part of the previous series, since we don't award a new series to A for a try.
