The error is therefore correctable per rule 2-10-1e (erroneously counting or canceling a score) and 2-10-3 (If in article 1e the error is made while the clock is running and the ball dead, it must be recognized by an official before the second live ball, which apparently it was)

The error occurs when the official announces "1" or "1 and 1". That announcement leaves the ball live once it misses, thus B's layup is a live ball score. Whether it should have been dead is irrelevant; the official's error changed that.
