Forgot to cross out incorrect working

I have 2 sets of working out under my C1 question if 1 is right will i get the mark?

My incorrect one is my first one
If this was a real edexcel C1 maths exam they would mark both and award the marks for the best attempt.

the fact that I wrote "just incase it was mistake" before my 2nd working doesnt matter right?

i think it might be a 'benefit of the doubt' mark
idk for maths but i know my chem/ bio teachers will be a bit iffy about awarding me the mark if they knew i was unsure about it
but if you clearly had it layed out in your second working with the correct answer you should be fine

Presumably this is a mock and TBH you need to ask your teachers how they have marked it.
In a real edexcel c1 paper they give the marks for the best attempt, I can't say that is definitely true for all examiners.
