This type of puzzle is referred to as an informal fallacy puzzle. The general idea is that the logic that is presented to the user appears at first glance to be correct, but in actuality has an error in it.
Actually,
Total dollar spend by parents = 9+9 = 18
=>17spend on lunch + 1dollar (Amitabh kept for himself)`
