(Relative) Magnetic field strength is inversely related to the distance between the field lines (i.e the line density). If two lines crossed, there would be infinite density, ergo infinite field strength which, for obvious reasons, is not allowed.

The point of intersection will indicate two direction of magnetic Lines of force at one point which is not possible.

very. easy question magnetic lines can not intersect at one point

If the field lines intersect at some point, then at that point the field lines would be joining two different directions which is impossible.
