Feb 24, 2013 at 4:15 comment added user4535 There are certainly several cases of my question that are uninteresting. In the case I actually am interested in, A+B is a proper subgroup of G and C is smaller than $A \cap B$ but still bigger than just $1$.
Feb 24, 2013 at 0:36 comment added Wei Zhou The only case that need to be considered is that $C=1$. And now the equation is $D/(A+B) \cong A \cap B$. In general, this is not true. So there need some additional restrictions.
Feb 23, 2013 at 15:18 comment added user6976 If $A+B=G$, then the only option for $D$ is $G$. So you want in that case $G/(A+B)=1=(A\cap B)/C$. This can only happen when $C=A\cap B$. This rarely happens if $A\cap B$ is large. Perhaps some conditions are missing. On the other hand, if $A\cap B=1$, then you can take $D=A+B$.
