Registering a new ca proprietorship

I was filling form 18 for registering a CA proprietorship

I came across this question which I couldnt understand -

"Whether the proprietor is a proprietor/partner or paid assistant with any other firm of chartered accountant in practice in India and whether any of them are engaged in a full time or part-time occupation elsewhere"

My first query is - How is it possible for anyone to be a paid assistant and fully employed elsewhere at the same time ??

Secondly query is

In my case I satisfy the first part of the question - I am a paid assistant in a CA firm but not in full time occupation elsewhere - should I answer the question in affirmative ?? or since "AND" is used I should answer in affirmitive only when I satisfy both the conditions of the question

Basically my doubt is what is the purpose of this question ??

Third query is 

Since I am a paid assitant now - after registering a proprietorship in my name will I cease to be a paid assistant automatically in the institutes records or are there any other formalities ?? ( because I will leave my employment after starting my office)

U SHOULD MENTION THE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR PAID ASSISTANT IN THE FIRM.IF U REGISTER NOW, THE STATUS OF YOUR FIRM WILL BE PART TIME.AND SINCE YOU ARE HOLDING COP,UR STATUS AS PAID ASSISTANT IS ALSO OF PART TIME.A PART TIME COP HOLDER CANNOT DO ATTEST FUNCTIONS.THATS WHY THIS QUESTION IS THERE.

 THE BETTER OPTION WOULD BE TO FIRST REGISN AS PAID ASSISTANT AND SEND A LETTER TO ICAI INFORMING ABOUT IT. THEN U SEND FORM 18 FOR REGISTRATION OF UR FIRM.IN THAT CASE U WILL GET THE STATUS OF FULL TIME CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT.
