Why two indifference curves can never intersect each other?

Solution
Verified by Toppr
As two indifference curves cannot represent the same level of satisfaction, they cannot intersect each other. It means only one indifference curve will pass through a given point on an indifference map. In figure, satisfaction from point A and from B on IC1 will be the same. Similarly, points A and C on IC2 also give the same level satisfaction. It means points B and C should also give the same level of satisfaction. However, this is not possible, as B and C lie on two different indifference curves, IC1 and IC2 respectively and represent different levels of satisfaction. Therefore, two indifference curves cannot intersect each other.
