Could you suggest me any textbook on Co-ordinate Geometry and Vector Analysis?

In order to give a good recommendation, you should tell what is your background and your goal/context.

I mean for undergraduate level.
 
I would recommend Introduction to Vector Analysis by Snider and Davis and Schaum's Outlines of Vector Analysis, as a complementary book for lots of examples and exercises.

That doesn't answer anything. I know undergraduates who take grad general relativity classes. And I know undergraduates who barely take more than basic calculus. So you really need to be detailed.

I have just completed high school and started undergraduate studies. As I will do major in Physics, I need a book which covers the basic ideas essential for studying General Relativity.
