Explain why, two magnetic field lines do not intersect each other?

The two magnetic field lines do not intersect each other because the resultant force on the north pole will always be in one direction. When the magnetic field lines intersect each other, the resultant force on the north pole, placed at the point of intersection, will be along with two directions which is impossible. Hence, two magnetic field lines cannot intersect each other.
