If loading is symmetrical and the frame is not symmetrical then the frame will sway towards the column having minimum stiffness.
For fixed, stiffness (S) =4EI/L.
For hinge, stiffness (S) =3EI/L.
For fixed, stiffness (S) =4EI/L.
For hinge, stiffness (S) =3EI/L.

The stiffness of the left side column is less so it will sway left side.

And when point load is applied on the right side of the beam then what happens?

Thanks @Kavitha.

Right side is fixed that why it doesn't sway at right and left side is hinge so sway at left.
