Humans use 10% of their cerebral capacity. though dollfin use 20% of it..so how come humans are more develpedd than them...?

First of all, it is pure myth that humans use only 10 percent of their brain.
Dolphins, like humans, use 100% of their brains all the time. Whether or not they're smarter than us is an entirely separate question. Wherever the figure of 20% came from, it most likely was dark and stinky.
The concept that we use less than 100% of our brain has 19th Century origins, but has become a science(?) fiction trope that is without any actual scientific credibility. It deserves to die, but idiotic books, movies like Lucy, and TV shows like Limitless keep resurrecting it because their writers seem unable to come up with better, original plot devices.
Despite appearances, everyone always uses 100% of their brains all the time. No part of your brain is loafing. No spare, residual, unused capacity is built-in. It's too expensive (energetically, evolutionarily, personally) to have unused brain capacity just sitting around, doing nothing.
This is as true for dolphins and every living animal with a brain as it is for us.
Further, humans have more cerebral capacity than dolphins.
