Solution:
5 men * 12 days = 60 man-days to complete the job.
6 men * x days = 60 man-days
x = 60 man-days / 6 men
x = 10 days
So, it will take 6 men 10 days to complete the same job at the same rate.

Solution:
Initially, there were 35 men, and the food was meant to last for 7 days. So, the total man-days of food were 35 men * 7 days = 245 man-days.
35 men * 7 days = 45 men * x days
x = (35 men * 7 days) / 45 men
x = (245 man-days) / 45 men
x 5.44 days
So, with the increased group of 45 men, the food will last for approximately 5.44 days.
