70% of the power produced by the turbine is used to run the compressor itself.

Because there will be more availability in the exit of the turbine. That's why rankine cycle is used combined with gas power plant.

Work ratio = (turbine work/net work).
Turbine is used to run the compressor itself.
So, work ratio is very low.
Turbine is used to run the compressor itself.
So, work ratio is very low.

Work ratio is = work net/turbine work.
Low because lost of work used to drive compressor.

Compressor work is nearly about 40-60% of total work. So work done per specific fuel consumption is less compered to other.

Because work ratio lies between 0 $ 1.

But it is low how we can say it is very low ?

The ratio of the actual work output of the turbine to the work output that would be achieved if the process between the inlet state and the exit state was isentropic.

Mechanical efficiency of gas turbine is about 95%. It is not clear in question although thermal efficiency is about 15-20%.

Since the specific volume (reciprocal of density) of air is high, the compression of air requires more work. Hence, major fraction of the work developed by the turbine is utilized in driving the compressor. Therefore, the efficiency of the simple gas turbine plant is too low.
