By doing

yum install vlc

I have installed the vlc player on my system. Now I want to know where the binary of vlc was installed. So what is the default path for installation in Fedora Linux?

I suppose

This may be of help: Unix Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Most binaries are installed in /usr/bin, most libs in /usr/lib and most headers - in /usr/include.
