To find the percentage of kids from S who were studying in private schools (P), we can sum up the number of kids studying in P from both groups: 300 (from kids whose mothers dropped out) + 3400 (from kids whose mothers completed primary education) = 3700 students.

Out of the total 10,000 kids from S, 3700 were studying in private schools. Therefore, the percentage of kids from S studying in private schools is 3700/10000 = 0.37, which is equivalent to 37%.

Hence, the correct answer is 37%, as stated in option (1)
